TASTING NOTES

Production

Frank Cornelissen’s Terre Siciliane Magma Rosso represents one of the finest expressions of Nerello Mascalese on Mount Etna. It comes from pre-phylloxera vines trained using the alberello method on the northern slope of the volcano, at high altitudes and on lava soils that are extremely poor in organic matter but rich in minerals. Yields are very low and viticulture follows natural, non-interventionist principles, with the utmost respect for the ecosystem. Harvesting is done by hand and vinification involves spontaneous fermentation, without the addition of selected yeasts, clarification or filtration. Ageing takes place in neutral containers, such as fibreglass tanks or large vats, to preserve the pure expression of the terroir and the vintage.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Visually, it is a bright, transparent ruby red with garnet highlights. On the nose, it is intense, deep and layered, with aromas of small red fruits, cherry, currant and pomegranate, accompanied by floral notes, delicate spices, Mediterranean herbs and powerful mineral hints of lava rock, ash and smoke. On the palate, it is elegant and vibrant, with extremely fine tannins, incisive freshness and extraordinary savouriness. The finish is extremely long, taut and mineral, displaying great precision and energy, capable of evolving magnificently over time.

Occasion and Pairing

An iconic wine with a strong sense of place, ideal for special occasions and for moments of deep, mindful tasting. It pairs beautifully with elegant red meats, light game, substantial Mediterranean dishes and high-quality mature cheeses.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

THE WINERY

Frank Cornelissen

The Fratelli Alessandria winery is located in the province of Cuneo, in the best crus of Verduno and Monforte. With roots dating back to the early 1800s and historically known for its Barolo, it has belonged to the Alessandria family since 1870. A family-run business, today the owner is Gian Battista, who together with his wife and children is the bearer of a tradition that has lasted for centuries and an extraordinary passion for viticulture and winemaking. With its 12 hectares of vineyards, the company is known for the production of Piedmontese wines of great quality. Respectful of the land, with a boundless love for the Langhe and an eye always focused on the most modern technological innovations, Fratelli Alessandria produces wines that best express the particularity of the vines from which they come and their territories of origin. Nebbiolo is the predominant cultivation, but there is no shortage of grapes for the typical red wines such as Dolcetto, Barbera and the characteristic Pelaverga or two cases for whites such as Favorita and Chardonnay. The hand of those working in the winery is evident. The direct relationship that is ensured between man, the vineyards and the barrels ensures total respect for the local winemaking tradition and culture, as well as an attempt to excite the consumer at the moment of tasting. Name and address of producer/distributor: Fratelli Alessandria - Via Beato Valfrè, 59, 12060 Verduno CN. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
