It reveals the remarkable depth of the Nerello Mascalese grape variety, grown on the Barbabecchi plot, planted with ungrafted, pre-phylloxera vines, over a hundred years old, at an altitude of 910 meters on the slopes of Mount Etna. Skin maceration takes place for sixty days on destemmed and lightly crushed grapes. No fining, no sulfites, and light filtration before bottling. With a very dense texture, this red is more mineral than fruity (the fruit notes are candied: blackberry, prune, all roundness and melted tannins). Its depth and power are balanced by great freshness. Possibility of traces of volatile acidity, quickly vanished with decanting.\u003cbr\u003eNatural wine without added sulfites.","brand":"Frank Cornelissen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55826132238720,"sku":"EFRCOMAGM13RGT75","price":291.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1547\/0720\/files\/Magma-vin-rouge-2013-Frank-Cornelissen-1-1.jpg?v=1743495938"},{"product_id":"munjebel-mc-rouge-2014-frank-cornelissen","title":"Munjebel MC Red 2014","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMunjebel MC Red 2014\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/culinaries.fr\/producteurs\/frank-cornelissen\/\"\u003eFrank Cornelissen\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMunjebel MC, an organic (Eurofeuille), biodynamic, and natural red wine from Sicily, is produced by Frank Cornelissen. It is classified DOP (PDO) Etna Rosso\/IGP Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese. It comes from the Contrada Monte Colla, a very steep terraced plot, beautifully exposed to the sun and wind, directly opposite Mount Etna.

Intense color of a deep, saturated red, notes of red rose and wild red fruits. Body, richness and thickness, aromatic palate supported by a fresh acidity. Pair it with red meats and Mediterranean dishes. Try a black ham from Bigorre or a grilled or roasted wagyu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLearn more about Frank Cornelissen\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA key and universally respected figure in natural, organic and biodynamic wine, Belgian Frank Cornelissen, a winemaker conquered by Sicily, is a classic. This man of constant questioning lives in human and cosmic resonance with his terroir: he has demonstrated that the powerful minerality of a great volcanic soil can be highlighted by the naturalness of his wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAn ideal terroir for plot-by-plot vinification\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Passopisciaro, Sicily, in the north of the Etna valley, the 19 plots cover 24 hectares of basalt soils spread over numerous localities (contrade) between 600 and 900 meters above sea level on the side of the volcano. It is, says Frank Cornelissen, the \"Côte de Nuits of Sicily.\" Frank Cornelissen's \"contrade\" are all cultivated biodynamically and vinified separately: he decides on the blends based on the quality of each. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe nobility of Nerello Mascalese\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNerello Mascalese is the dominant variety and alone makes up the greatest vintages.
