Information

A rich and fragrant wine of pure Nerello Mascalese from different vineyards, partly from our best parcels(Chiusa Spagnolo, Monte Colla, Porcaria, Barbabecchi) 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. This wine embodies traditional, balanced and rich Northern Valley Etna wine.

2017 Vintage Report
(from the Frank Cornelissen Website)

The growing season was relatively dry, resulting in impeccable fruit with little or no mildew or other diseases during the season. The summer was dry but not extremely dry and so the vegetation kept on going and the concentrations reminded me of 2012. Although the picking of the white grapes was extremely early, rain in September arrived in the right moment which resulted in perfect physical maturation for the Nerello Mascalese, even in the highest vineyards. The 2017 crus were picked in the right moon phase as well as zodiac. An unusual event. The best wines are concentrated and need time to develop, like 2012. Great.
