Made exclusively from Nerello Mascalese grapes, it offers a complex bouquet on the nose, dominated by fragrant notes of cherry and small red fruits. On the palate, it is harmonious, characterised by vibrant acidity and \u003cstrong\u003esilky tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that accompany the pleasant sweetness of ripe fruit towards a very persistent finish. It pairs beautifully with roast red meats, game, and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the Contrada Feudo di Mezzo Sottana, in the territory of Castiglione di Sicilia, on the \u003cstrong\u003enorthern slope of Mount Etna\u003c\/strong\u003e. The roots of the \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e, some over forty years old, reach down to about 580 metres above sea level in \u003cstrong\u003edeep volcanic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e. Frank Cornelissen manages the plots following the rhythms of nature and maintains very low yields to enhance aromatic concentration. The northern position and constant ventilation of the valley ensure perfect balance in the ripening of the Nerello Mascalese, giving the wine a marked territorial finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process involves a \u003cstrong\u003egentle crushing\u003c\/strong\u003e of the bunches and fermentation started with a pied-de-cuve of only indigenous yeasts. The long \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e, lasting about fifty days, ensures a deep extraction that gives the wine structure without compromising its elegance. Vinification continues in buried terracotta jars and fibreglass tanks, materials chosen to preserve maximum organoleptic purity. A \u003cstrong\u003eprolonged ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e of eighteen months, followed by a further rest of equal duration, consolidates the wine's gustatory harmony while avoiding invasive interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 2001, Frank Cornelissen's winery has succeeded in enhancing the northern slope of Etna when this area was still little known. The \u003cstrong\u003eMunjebel Rosso FM\u003c\/strong\u003e is produced in the Contrada Feudo di Mezzo Sottana, at an altitude of 580 metres. Here, majestic \u003cstrong\u003ecentury-old vines\u003c\/strong\u003e sink their roots into deep volcanic soils, cultivated in harmony with natural and cosmic rhythms. Thanks to extremely low yields, the artisanal approach enhances the purity of \u003cstrong\u003eNerello Mascalese\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the 2021 vintage a vibrant elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frank Cornelissen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44759879385259,"sku":"54495","price":83.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/frank-cornelissen-munjebel-rosso-fm-2021_54495_1_dca6e0fa-daf4-4264-afb0-161036a840d3.webp?v=1773746796","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/frank-cornelissen-munjebel-rosso-fm-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
