The Volcanic Elegance of Etna


Frank Cornelissen's Munjebel VA 2021 is an immersion into the soul of Sicilian volcanic terroirs. This 100% Nerello Mascalese comes from old, ungrafted vines rooted in unique basalt soils at an altitude of 640 meters on the Contrada Porcaria. This blend of Etna's highest vineyards – Tartaraci, Rampante Soprana, and Barbabecchi – produces a wine of remarkable precision, often described as the most Burgundian of the estate's vintages.

A wine of exceptional depth


To the eye, this red displays a clear, brilliant ruby ​​color, announcing its finesse. The nose reveals complex aromas of sweet spices, undergrowth, and intense volcanic minerality. On the palate, it impresses with its silky structure, vibrant freshness, and elegant tannins, perfectly balanced by beautiful acidity. The length on the palate is remarkable, marked by spicy notes and a touch of salinity, a signature of Etna's volcanic soils. Serve between 14 and 16°C, after decanting to reveal all its aromatic richness.

A gastronomic companion of choice


Perfect for refined meals, the Munjebel VA 2021 pairs ideally with roasted red meats, game in sauce or even Mediterranean dishes rich in flavor. This great wine from Etna also offers a unique experience when paired with mature cheeses of character.

With an aging potential of several years, this 2021 vintage embodies the excellence and unique character of Frank Cornelissen's wines, combining power and elegance in an authentic expression of Nerello Mascalese.
