Munjebel White 2018 Cornelissen

Munjebel Bianco is a fine Sicilian wine produced by Cornelissen. It comes from a blend of Grecanico and Carricante from ancient 40-year-old vineyards that grow on Etna's lava stone at altitudes of over 1000 meters. As Frank Cornelissen himself stated, it is a white with a red character, above all thanks to the 4-day maceration on the skins which makes the wine richer and more complex. Munjebel Bianco Cornelissen has a veiled ocher yellow color with golden undertones. The nose is pure Etna terroir, with a burst of mineral salts that blend with delicate fruity aromas, ginger and undergrowth. In the mouth it is fresh, elegant and savory, hardness reinforced by a slight tannin.

REGION: Sicily (Italy)

GRAPES: Grecanico 60%, Carricante 40%

CORNELISSEN

Frank Cornelissen is the reference point of Sicilian Etna wine, his natural wines tell the full story of the terroir from which they are born. His production philosophy is based on the non-intervention in the vineyard and in the cellar, for his natural Sicilian wines no additives or sulphur dioxide are used, the fermentation is spontaneous and the vinification takes place in terracotta jars buried in the lava stone. 

"Before being good a wine must be true" this is his philosophy, so important that it is engraved at the entrance of his cellar, in the North side of Etna.
