Country: Italy

Region: Sicily

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Nerello Mascalese

Frank Cornelissen is a Belgian-born, self-taught winemaker who relocated to the slopes of Mount Etna in 2001, driven by an uncompromising belief that great wine requires minimal intervention. Working with pre-phylloxera Nerello Mascalese vines of extraordinary age at elevations above 800 meters, Cornelissen practices radical natural viticulture — no sulfur, no additives, no filtration. His estate has become one of the defining voices in Italian natural wine, drawing the world's attention to Etna as one of the great wine terroirs of our time.

The Munjebel FM is a 100% Nerello Mascalese produced from from a mix of four different vineyards averaging 60 years old, with some of the best Crus included. Fermented for 60 days and again aged all in tank. Bottled lightly filtered with no sulfur added.

Elegant and structured, with notes of rose, lilac and hints of licorice root. A balance of fruit and floral intensity, with red and black fruits, citrus, and a core of minerality typical of these spectacular volcanic wines.
