Frank Cornelissen’s Magma 2019, crafted from ancient Nerello Mascalese vines on the volcanic slopes of Etna, offers a captivating aromatic profile. Expect an intricate bouquet of wild red berries like cherry and raspberry, intermingled with pronounced volcanic minerality (ash, wet stone), dried Mediterranean herbs (oregano, thyme), and delicate floral notes (rose, violet). The palate is medium-bodied and vibrant, showcasing a high, energetic acidity and firm yet refined tannins. Flavors echo the nose, presenting savory red fruit, saline minerality, and a hint of white pepper, culminating in a long, dry, and intensely mineral-driven finish.
