2020 Frank Cornellissen Susucaru Etna Rosso 5L

The 2020 Frank Cornelissen Susucaru Etna Rosso is a striking expression of Etna’s volcanic terroir presented in a rare 5-liter format, making it ideal for sharing or special occasions. This field blend is dominated by Nerello Mascalese, complemented by small amounts of Nerello Capuccio and other local varieties, all grown on the steep, lava-rich slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. On the nose, it reveals brambly wild berries, pomegranate, delicate smokiness, and a clear volcanic minerality. The palate is medium-bodied yet lively, marked by bright acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a finish that lingers with sensations of red fruit and stony ash. The large-format bottle underscores the wine’s communal, celebratory character and pairs beautifully with herb-roasted lamb, grilled pork, mushroom risotto, or aged sheep-milk cheeses.
