Description
This wine is part of the extraordinarily limited-release series of Contrada wines by cult winemaking hero, Frank Cornellissen.
Belgian native turned cult natural winemaking hero, Frank Cornelissen makes some of the most intriguing raw wines in Sicily's Etna region.
Cornelissen rejects the notion of interfering with Mother Earth at any point in the grape-growing and winemaking process. No additions of any kind - neither in the vineyard nor the cellar - just a stripped-back representation of some of the world's most fascinating volcanic terroir.
Scrambling for allocations of these wines regularly hits a fever pitch. They are only ever available for a limited time. They are one of the gems of the natural wine world.
95 points
"Sweet cherries and berries with sage flower and pumice with hints of smoke. Medium to full body with round yet chewy tannins that are polished and refined. Wonderful length and focus. Need three or four years to soften and come around. Best after 2025. (8/4/23)"
