Description
Although Etna has a tradition in high density plantation of vines, Cornelissen seeks to reduce monoculture and has thus interplanted various local fruit varieties which attract bees to regain a complex ecosystem. The new vineyards are planted without grafts, using a selection of our original, ungrafted vines.
Cornelisson’s farming philosophy is based on acceptance of the fact that man will never be able to understand nature’s full complexity and interactions, hence they choose to concentrate on observing and learning the movements of Mother Earth in her various energetic and cosmic passages and prefer to follow her indications as to what to do, instead of deciding and imposing ourselves..
Tasting Notes
Grape Variety: Nerello Mascalese, Malvasia, Moscadella, Cattaratto
The wine is rustic and represents the direct mirror of the territory where it has grown. The color is already something extraordinary, intense pink tending towards raspberry red. On the nose, delicate and subtle aromas of red berries and vegetal notes meet against a pleasantly rustic backdrop. The minerality is the cornerstone that, with the addition of a pinch of saltiness and freshness, gives rise to a vibrant harmony. While it retains elegance and style, on the other hand, it is recognized for its originality and spontaneity.
