Description

Frank Cornelissen Magma is a red natural wine from Sicily made from Nerello Mascalese grapes from old vines – over 100 years old. The grapes are destemmed, gently pressed, the must is fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in epoxy tanks where the wine is then aged. Frank Cornelissen Magma is unfined with no added sulfites. This is Frank's rarest wine, and we only have one bottle of it.

Producer profile

Frank Cornelissen

Frank Cornelissen is one of the most famous natural winemakers in the world, consistently making sought-after wines in Sicily, near Mount Etna, from Nerello Mascalese and other Sicilian indigenous varieties.

Wine region

Sicily, Italy

Sicily is Italy's biggest island and region. The Strait of Messina (Stretto di Messina) separates it from the mainland. The capital of Sicily is Palermo, a majestically decadent multicultural city offering one of the richest culinary traditions in Italy.

The history and culture of Sicily are a tapestry of fascinating influences. This complexity is beautifully reflected in the diverse architecture of its cities. In Palermo, for instance, one can witness a unique blend of Arab, Greek, Roman, and Spanish influences, not just in the city's layout but also in its food and local language.

Sicily is Italy's third-biggest wine-producing country, behind Veneto and Tuscany. The quality of Sicilian wines has increased steadily in the past 30 years. Some international grape varietals—mainly chardonnay and syrah—have found a place in Sicilian viticulture, which is traditionally dominated by native varietals such as Nero d'Avola, Catarratto, Grillo, and Inzolia.
