Magma Rosso Cornelissen 2017 is a red wine crafted from 100% Nerello Mascalese grapes, sourced from Frank Cornelissen`s single vineyard on the slopes of Mount Etna, located at a high altitude of approximately 900m. The indigenous, ungrafted vines were planted over 80 years ago, benefiting from volcanic soils that impart a unique mineral character. This wine showcases a complex bouquet of dark fruit, herbal notes and a subtle minerality. Frank Cornelissen is renowned for his minimal intervention techniques, allowing the true essence of the terroir to shine through.
