Munjebel Rosso IGT Terre Siciliane 2020, Frank Cornelissen
Tasting notes
Almost as if lava stones and ash could be infused with raspberry and black cherry preserves, and then brushed with grilled sage and, finally, add a burst of white pepper–the 2020 Nerello Mascalese Munjebel Rosso bursts from the glass. This feels more like juice than wine with its energy and verve, yet it’s potent all the same, with silken textures excited by reverberating acidity, and saturating ripe red fruits that seem to sizzle upon the palate. It leaves a dry staining on concentration and gentle tannins, but also a flourish of inner sweetness to balance it all out, as rosy inner florals fade. The 2020 is a simply stunning and wickedly fresh Nerello Mascalese. (D.H.)

Expert's View
“Frank Cornelissen makes profound wine, great wine. His reds are distinct, a little frizzante, vibrant, zingy, buzzy acidity - just profoundly, rich and deep wine.” ~ Clear Wine Co's Wine Expert
