This \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e combines Grecanico Dorato, Coda di Volpe and Carricante grapes in a harmonious and precise profile. On the palate, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003esignificant and deep structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, balanced by a vibrant freshness. Thanks to its excellent acidity, it pairs ideally with shellfish, lean fish and \u003cstrong\u003eaged cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhancing their flavours with great elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown on the northern slope of Mount Etna, an outstanding area for wine production. The \u003cstrong\u003eungrafted\u003c\/strong\u003e vines, sixty years old, are located in the Tartaraci and Zacchino Pietre plots at an altitude approaching one thousand metres. This position marks the extreme limit of \u003cstrong\u003eEtnean viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the wine a distinctive character. The influence of the volcano and the use of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic practices\u003c\/strong\u003e result in a sip of great tension, where the density reflects the vibrant energy of the Sicilian land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter destemming and gentle crushing, fermentation occurs spontaneously thanks to the action of \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e. The must remains in contact with the skins for four days, a maceration that enriches the wine and defines its tactile consistency. To preserve the integrity of the mineral notes, ageing takes place in \u003cstrong\u003eneutral fibreglass vats\u003c\/strong\u003e for eighteen months, followed by further rest in the bottle. This production approach delivers a wine consistent with the high altitude, appreciated by \u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e's critics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced on the northern slope of Etna under organic farming, Munjebel Bianco VA Vigne Alte 2021 by Frank Cornelissen comes from \u003cstrong\u003eungrafted sixty-year-old vines\u003c\/strong\u003e located at an altitude of one thousand metres, at the very edge of Etnean viticulture.
