Etna, Sicily, ItalyThe Munjebel Bianco is an esteemed Etna orange wine produced from a blend of Grecanico and Carricante grapes. Sourced from vines exceeding 40 years in age and rooted in the volcanic soils of Mount Etna, this wine undergoes a four day skin maceration during the vinification process. This method imparts a complex aromatic profile featuring ripe yellow fruit, ginger, and arid underbrush. The palate reveals pronounced minerality within its deep yellow hue, complemented by layered flavours of yellow fruits, floral spices, and phenolic nuances derived from skin contact. Notable for its substantial structure and extended finish, the Munjebel Bianco is a gastronomic wine suitable for immediate enjoyment or cellaring through 2027.Tasted: 12 July 2025Tasted by: Prices:
Etna, Sicily, ItalyFrank Cornelissen became part of a growing movement of naturalist Sicilian wines, and now is a reference producer.
This intense orange is a split of certified organic Grecanico dorado and carricante from 30+ year old vines growing on the profound volcanic soils of Mt. Etna. After destemming and light crushing, this spent 3 days on skins before a native ferment and aging in epoxy tanks of varying sizes for 16 months. It was bottling without fining and with minimal filtration and low SO2. Pouring a golden hue, this streaks across the palate, leaving a wake of tangerine pith, chamomile, bergamot, burnished stones, and a kiss of honeycomb, fresh ginger, and orange pekoe tea in its wake. Finished with an ardeaseal cork, so you needn't ever worry about TCA or forgery.Tasted: 03 August 2025Tasted by: Prices:
