Frank Cornelissen "Susucaru" Rosato, Terre Siciliane IGP, Sicily, Italy 2024

Not only a refreshing summer wine from a blend of Malvasia, Moscadella, Insolia and Nerello Mascalese, as this is a “rosé” which can also be regarded as a light red, like a “Jura” wine, pairing well with a wide variety of dishes.

Cornelissen's rosé is produced with the same philosophy and vinification techniques as all their other wines: skin contact for texture and territorial identity, malolactic fermentation fully finished for density, fluidity and stability.

The Cornelissen estate was established in 2001, when Etna as a wine region was still undiscovered. Vineyards are located on the Northern valley of the active volcano Etna. The northern valley is considered today Etna’s top area for single-vineyard (contrada) red wines like the “Côtes-de-Nuits” in Burgundy or Piemonte’s “Barolo” area.
