Magnum Munjebel Red 2014
Frank Cornelissen
Frank Cornelissen's Munjebel 2014 is a pure and intense immersion in the volcanic terroir of Etna. Made exclusively from Nerello Mascalese, this red wine aptly expresses the identity of northern Sicily. It comes from several exceptional plots, notably those used for the estate's vintages, such as Zottorinoto-Chiusa Spagnolo, Feudo di Mezzo-Porcaria, and Pontale Palino, as well as from vines specifically dedicated to this cuvée (Rampante Sottana, Piano Daini, and Crasà).
In the glass, its translucent ruby color evokes the refinement and finesse of a great Pinot Noir, while preserving the energy and intensity characteristic of Etna wines. The nose is a true olfactory journey, revealing aromas of wild red fruits, black cherry, and raspberry, accompanied by subtle spicy and mineral notes, indicative of the basaltic influence of the soil. On the palate, it is both structured and vibrant: its tannins are present yet silky, and the ripeness of the fruit is balanced with a beautiful acidity. A slight salty touch prolongs the finish and recalls the volcanic origins of the terroir.
A natural wine with no added sulfites, the Munjebel 2014 reflects Frank Cornelissen's non-interventionist philosophy. This rich and expressive wine is ideal for aging (5 to 10 years), but is already splendid today after aeration in a carafe. Served between 16 and 18°C, it will pair wonderfully with grilled meats, Mediterranean dishes, or a porcini mushroom risotto.
