Frank Cornelissen's grand cru is, as expected, a wine for aging. It reveals the remarkable depth of the Nerello Mascalese grape variety, from the Barbabecchi plot, planted with ungrafted, pre-phylloxera vines, more than a century old, at an altitude of 910 meters on the slopes of Etna. Skin maceration takes place for sixty days on destemmed and lightly crushed grapes. No fining, no sulfites, and light filtration before bottling. With a very dense texture, this red is more mineral than fruity (the fruit notes are candied: blackberry, prune, all roundness and melted tannins). Its depth and power are balanced by great freshness. Possible traces of volatile acidity, quickly vanishing with decanting. Delivery possible in Île-de-France only.
