Frank Cornelissen stumbled upon Sicily's unique terroir after a chance outing to a restaurant, where he was poured a sample of the local wines of Mt Etna.
Cult rosato from fastidious experimentalist Frank Cornelissen, made from a blend of Malvasia, Moscadella, Insolia and Nerello Mascalese, from vineyards scattered across the side of Mt Etna. This year's iteration is delightfully refreshing with red fruit aromatics, some spice and of course, volcanic minerality.
Having been transfixed by the distinctive features of the region's wines, the Belgian native decided to lease a few vineyards on Etna's volcanic slopes, and eventually purchased his first plot there in 2001. Cornelissen has since become a hugely influential winemaker in the region, working to a strict minimal intervention philosophy in both the vineyard and winery. Both red and white wines are made with traditional Sicilian varieties which undergo lengthy macerations on skins, before being bottled without filtration or sulphur additions.
