Magma Red 2021,
Frank Cornelissen
The ultimate expression of Etna
The Magma 2021, by Frank Cornelissen, is an exceptional wine, born from the old, ungrafted vines of the Barbabecchi vineyard, perched at an altitude of 950 meters on the north-northeast slopes of Etna. This pure Nerello Mascalese, cultivated organically and with absolute respect for the terroir, is produced only in years when perfect phenolic maturity is reached. With this vintage, Cornelissen offers a rich, elegant and characterful "Grand Vin", a unique reflection of the basalt soils and the cool morning exposure.
A captivating tasting
Behind its deep ruby color, the Magma 2021 displays a complex and captivating nose, blending intense spices, notes of black cherry and vibrant minerality. On the palate, it reveals impressive depth, with a velvety texture, fine tannins and a remarkable freshness that perfectly balances its power. The finish is strikingly long, marked by spicy aromas and a saline imprint, the inimitable signature of the volcanic terroirs of Etna. Serve between 14 and 16°C, after careful decanting to express all its aromatic richness.
A wine for special occasions
The Magma 2021 is an ideal companion for elaborate Mediterranean dishes, such as herb-roasted lamb, stews or fragrant grilled vegetables. Its structure and finesse also make it a partner of choice for red meats and bold gastronomic creations.
With exceptional aging potential, this wine transcends the boundaries of the Etna DOP appellation to establish itself as an icon of Nerello Mascalese and a true ode to the genius of Frank Cornelissen.
