Susucaru Rosso 2017

Susucaru Rosso 2017, Frank Cornelissen
Formerly called Contadino, Susucaru red combines the characteristics of its former incarnation: it is the entry-level red from Azienda Frank Cornelissen and the most accessible of its vintages. It is composed of Nerello Mascalese and a few other varieties grown on the estate: Malvasia, Moscadella, Catarratto. The grapes are destemmed, lightly crushed, and undergo approximately sixty days of skin maceration. It is the aromatic expression of Etna, a vintage produced and blended in the traditional way, mixing plots and grape varieties. The result is a wine with a rich and voluptuous nose, elegant and fluid, endowed with structure and a strong personality. Aging potential: ten years. Serving temperature: 14-15 °C. Open twenty minutes before tasting. Pairings: all summer dishes, from marinated red peppers to grilled lamb and antipasti.
