Susucaru Rosso Red 2023,
A vibrant and versatile natural red
The Susucaru Rosso 2023 is a unique cuvée from Frank Cornelissen, made from a unique blend of local grape varieties: Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Capuccio, Minnella, Alicante Bouschet, and Uva Francesa. Grown on the basalt soils of Mount Etna, these grape varieties are blended in a vinification process using the ancestral method, marked by a one-month destemmed maceration, to create a wine bursting with freshness and character.
A fruity and structured red
To the eye, the Susucaru Rosso 2023 stands out for its bright, lively ruby color. The nose opens with expressive aromas of red berries, ripe cherry, and pink berries, enhanced by a touch of spice and volcanic minerality. On the palate, this wine offers a silky texture, beautiful freshness, and a delicate structure. The flavors of vibrant red fruits are balanced by subtle notes of spice and a slight salinity, for a long, vibrant finish. Served between 14 and 16°C after decanting, it reveals all its richness and energy.
Versatile and convivial
Perfect as an aperitif, Susucaru Rosso also pairs well with cooked fish, white meats or light Mediterranean dishes. Its freshness and structure make it a versatile red wine, suitable for convivial meals as well as more refined occasions.
With an aging potential of 5 years, this cuvée captures the lively and natural spirit of Etna in a modern and accessible expression. An invitation to discover the unique know-how of Frank Cornelissen.
