Frank Cornelissen
A natural white from Etna combining freshness and complexity
The Munjebel VA 2021, by Frank Cornelissen, is an exceptional white wine made from the Carricante grape variety, grown on the unique basalt soils of Etna. Vinified using destemmed maceration and aged for six months in amphorae, it embodies the estate's biodynamic commitment to quality and respect for the terroir. This cuvée illustrates a perfect harmony between freshness, minerality, and aromatic complexity, offering a unique tasting experience.
A vibrant and expressive elegance
The pale yellow color with golden highlights of the Munjebel VA 2021 evokes its purity and freshness. On the nose, delicate aromas of citrus, zesty lemon, and white flowers mingle with a saline minerality typical of volcanic soils. On the palate, it seduces with its silky texture, liveliness, and perfect balance between tension and roundness. The long and persistent finish is marked by lemony nuances and a vibrant freshness. Best served between 10 and 12°C after decanting to reveal its full complexity.
A versatile wine for many pairings
The Munjebel VA 2021 pairs beautifully with seafood, shellfish, or grilled fish. It also elegantly accompanies Asian or Indian dishes, white meats, mushrooms, and fresh cheeses. Its balance makes it an ideal choice for both an aperitif and a gourmet meal.
With several years of aging potential, this natural white wine will delight lovers of authentic wines, offering a beautiful evolution in the bottle and a very interesting sensory experience.
