2022 Frank Cornelissen "Munjebel CD" Terre Siciliane Rosso

Notes

The 2022 Frank Cornelissen "Munjebel CD" (Calderara Sottana) is an elegant, single-vineyard Nerello Mascalese from a site famous for its "stony" volcanic soil. The nose is more "feminine" and delicate than other crus, offering pure cherries, wild strawberry, and wet stones with floral undertones of dried rose. On the palate, it is characterized by great elegance and a silky texture, balancing vibrant, succulent red fruit with fine-grained tannins and a mineral, sapid finish. Compared to the powerful "MC," the "CD" is celebrated for its finesse, transparency, and precision.
