Frank Cornelissen Susucaru Terre Siciliane Rose 2023

Country: Italy

Region: Sicily

Type: Rose

Grape: Malvasia/Moscadella/Insolia/Nerello Mascalese

Susucaru Rosato is produced with the same philosophy and vinification techniques as all their other wines: skin contact for texture and territorial identity, malolactic fermentation fully finished for density, fluidity and stability. Organically farmed grapes are hand harvested, then destemmed and lightly crushed. Native yeast fermentation and skin contact for about 10 days. Ages in epoxy tank. Unfined, unfiltered, with a touch of sulfur added at bottling.

A rosé that drinks more like a light red. Delightful bright red fruit with a refreshing, slightly peppery finish. As with all of Cornelissen's wines, this is very small production and highly allocated.
