Description
 
Frank Cornelissen is the owner of 19 hectares of vines rather high up on Mount Etna. Uniquely, he has been involved in wine his entire life. As the son of a wine broker in Belgium, he had the opportunity to be immersed in wine on a professional level from a very young age. Frank went on to produce his first wine in 2001 when he started with only 0.40 hectares of vines.

Frank is obsessive over details in an effort to make wines that truly express terroir with perspective. He is a meticulous vineyard worker and keeps an extremely clean and organized cellar. The evolution in his wines are intriguing as well. Earlier vintages were linear, angular, precise, and full of minerality. He has often said that in the early days his goal was to create liquid stone. His wines have softened with time now striking balance between fruit and dynamic minerality.

Classified as a table wine, the Frank Cornelissen NV Munjebel Rosso Perpetuum is a very wild and untamed wine with dried fruit aromas, underbrush, autumnal leaf and more austerity overall both in terms of bouquet and mouthfeel. The mid-palate is lean. The wine is called Perpetuum because it represents a blend of vintages in the style of a solera wine. This edition is a blend of 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019. Only a quarter of the total was bottled for this release. Wine from the 2020 vintage was added to the vat to make the next batch. It's a little offbeat, with both mature and primary fruit, but interesting nonetheless.
