Kære med-Terroirist.

Foråret er kommet! Endelig! Og med det kommer Frank Cornelissens unikke vine fra Etnas nordlige skråninger.

I dette nyhedsbrev kan du læse om den fantastiske 2021-årgang, de nyligt udgivne vine og et væld af spændende tilbud, der gælder fra mandag den 31. marts til og med søndag den 6. april.

Du kan også læse om og købe billet til vores kommende smagning af samme vine fra Frank Cornelissen. Læs mere efter de gode tilbud. 

Skål og god fornøjelse.

Fra et terroir på Etnas nordlige skråninger, der udfordres af uregelmæssigt vejr og vulkansk aktivitet, er det ingen let opgave at producere vin af høj kvalitet. Hver årgang er derfor en triumf i sig selv. At Frank siden 2001 har formået at skabe enestående vin årgang efter årgang, vidner om hans dybe forståelse for Etna og den natur, han samarbejder med for at skabe noget helt unikt.

Ældre vinstokke bliver mindre stressede end unge ved tørke grundet deres dybe rødders evne til at finde fugt. 2021 var med Franks egne ord en ekstrem årgang med minimal sne, en tør vækstsæson (bortset fra hagl i marts og regn i høstsæsonen). Til trods for dette tabte han “kun” 25% af høsten, og resultatet er en årgang med masser af personlighed og struktur. Anmelderne er begejstrede!

I det følgende kan du med Franks egne ord læse en kort beskrivelse om alle vinene. 

Munjebel Bianco
”Our first white wine started out as an orange wine, fermented with the skins for an extended period. I liked the tactile feeling and density, but missed the finesse and precision of the classic French white wines from for example the Loire. With the vintage 2015 I changed our technique to search for the purity and flavors of Etna which evolved in maintaining a short period of skin contact and aging our white wines for an extended period in the coldest part of our cellar before bottling. The obtained elegance, purity and density makes this wine very suited to accompany a wide variety of dishes and cuisine, from fish to white meat. Grecanico Dorato 50%, Carricante 50%.”

Munjebel Bianco VA
”A special white wine, from our highest vineyards, located between 900 and 1.000 m. asl from ungrafted vines. At the upper limit of where vineyards were planted on Etna, this white wine combines the characteristics of great wines: profoundness, density, high acidity with minerality and texture. Grecanico Dorato 60%, Carricante 10%, Coda di Volpe 30% (all ungrafted).”

Susucaru Rosso
”Our entry-level red wine is a field-blend of mostly Nerello Mascalese (85%) with other local varietals from all our vineyards: Nerello Capuccio, Allicante Boushet, Minella and Uva Francesa. Our Susucaru® Rosso expresses Etna as produced in a more traditional way of blending different contrada’s as well as different varietals to obtain a fragrant, elegant and fluid wine with structure and personality.”

Munjebel Rosso
”A rich and fragrant wine of pure Nerello Mascalese from different vineyards, partly from our best parcels where we produce our crus (Zottorinoto-Chiusa Spagnolo, Feudo di Mezzo-Porcaria, Pontale Palino) as well as designated vineyards for this specific wine (Rampante, Piano Daini and Crasà). A classic, traditional Nerello Mascalese with tannins and sweetness of ripe fruit. My vision of a traditional, balanced and rich Northern Valley Etna wine”.

Munjebel Rosso FM
”Feudo di Mezzo as a contrada is very vast and therefore I prefer to separate the bottom part (sottana) from the upper part (soprana or Porcaria). Although lower in the valley floor, the wines are of an unusual elegance which characterizes this area. Relatively deep soil which, in humid vintages can create some problems although the well ventilated site helps to get ripeness. Burgundian elegance and roundness, even in hot vintages makes this a special wine with finesse as it’s personality”.

Munjebel Rosso PA
”This pure Nerello Mascalese is produced from our old vine alberello cru Porcaria, situated at 640 m. asl. in the cont rada Feudo di Mezzo. A challenging location in order to achieve perfection in maturation. It has the power as well as refined elegance in the balanced vintages when everything falls into place. A complete wine”.

Munjebel Rosso CD
”Since the day we started producing wines back in 2001 the grapes from this contrada were always a bit more expen sive than other areas and the reputation has always been high. In cold and difficult vintages the structure of the soil with many smaller rocks, can give an advantage in absorbing warmth and radiating this during the colder evening hours. The wines are generally more feminine combining elegance and in the best cases the wines are profound.”

Munjebel Rosso CR
”This pure Nerello Mascalese comes from a partly ungrafted vineyard Campo Re, situated at the far Western side in the valley floor, at the entrance of Randazzo. The vineyard altitude is 735m. asl and is characterized by deep soil which, in humid vintages creates major difficulties to obtain ripe fruit. The wines are profound and tannic, and more backward and Nebbiolo-ish compared to our other crus”.

Munjebel Rosso MC
”This pure Nerello Mascalese comes from our cru in contrada Monte Colla. An extremely steep and terraced vineyard, beautifully exposed to sun and wind and right in front of mount Etna. The sandy clay soil and the old-vine Nerello Mascalese, planted in 1946, produces a rich and powerful wine, maintaining elegance. Our “Hermitage” of Etna”.

Munjebel Rosso CS
”This pure Nerello Mascalese comes from our ungrafted vineyard in contrada Zottorinoto, more specific in the section Chiusa Spagnola, situated lower in the valley floor, a bit hidden in an amphytheater, surrounded by lava. A unique vineyard, planted around 1925 at a lower altitude (620m. asl) producing a profound, tannic wine, a bit more backward and Nebbiolo-ish compared to our other crus and lighter in colour”.

Munjebel Rosso VA
”This pure Nerello Mascalese is a blend from our 3 highest vineyards (Vigne Alte): Tartaraci, Rampante soprana, Barbabecchi. It expresses beautifully the value and precision of the old vines, ungrafted Nerello Mascalese on the high terraces in the Northern valley of Mount Etna. The most Burgundian of all our crus.”

Magma
”Our “Grand Vin” from our Barbabecchi vineyard at 910m. asl. Planted around 1910 and North-North East exposed, capturing the first and cool morning sun rays. This pure Nerello Mascalese from ungrafted old vines makes a profound wine, rich as well as elegant, with character, personality and great finesse and is produced only in great vintages where we achieve phenolic ripeness.”
