Magma Rosso No 10 Cornelissen 2012 is an artisanal red wine from the northern slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. This bottling is produced from 100% Nerello Mascalese sourced from the estate`s oldest, ungrafted vines in the Contrada Barbabecchi vineyard at 900 metres elevation. The No 10 denotes the specific edition of this cult wine, which is only produced in the finest vintages. The 2012 harvest yielded a wine of immense concentration and wild volcanic character, with notes of iron, blood orange and smoky minerals. It is fermented without additives and aged in neutral tanks to provide a raw and transparent expression of Etna`s volcanic terroir.
