Munjebel Rosso 2021: Where Sicily’s Earth Meets the Glass

Frank Cornelissen is one of the OGs of winemaking on Mt. Etna’s slopes in Sicily. Since 2001, he’s been leading the charge in natural wine, crafting his process around the idea that the earth itself should dictate the outcome. Using minimal intervention, Cornelissen lets Mt. Etna’s volcanic landscape do the talking, resulting in wines with a pure, earthy intensity. This hands-off approach gives Munjebel its unique personality and bold flavors—a favorite for wine aficionados and casual sippers alike.
