Tasting notes

The FM cru comes from the bottom part (sottana) of the large Feudo di Mezzo contrada, where the wines show an unusual elegance. The producer describes Burgundian elegance and roundness, even in hot vintages, with finesse as its personality. The wine carries red fruit and cherry notes with good acidity and soft, silky tannins.

See here our shipping policy.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package; carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older. Shipping to PO Boxes is not allowed.

Ship to a FedEx Store

If nobody can be at your address to sign for the package, you can have your order sent to a FedEx store instead. Enter your preferred FedEx store as the shipping address at checkout and we'll ship your order there. Once it arrives, you have 5 business days to pick it up, and you'll need to show your ID.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice packs upon request, at a cost, but even so, we can't be held liable if it's 104 where you are and corks pop. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Placed an order. What next?

1. You will receive an order confirmation email with your order summary.*

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order. We need to pick and pack, QA, add printed collateral, and palletize the orders.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**

*Please ensure your email address is correct; otherwise, you will not receive the order and shipping confirmation emails.

**If delivery is attempted 3 times without success, or if you fail to retrieve your package from the carrier depot by the stated deadline, the shipping fee will not be refunded to the customer.

Returns Policy

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us at (424) 414-2040 or via e-mail at hello@primalwine.com between 9 am and 5 pm Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Sunday, we would like to understand and try to solve your concerns. We can offer refunds only as store credit.

Producer profile

Frank Cornelissen

Frank Cornelissen established his estate in 2001 after working as a wine broker and as an agent who introduced wineries to importers. He is Belgian and based at Via Canonico Zumbo in the frazione of Passopisciaro, within the comune of Castiglione di Sicilia. The estate began with approximately 1 hectare and now covers about 24 hectares. Annual production is approximately 100,000 bottles of wine, while the first vintage was made in 2001. The estate's vineyards are located in the northern valley of Mount Etna.

The estate began its organic certification procedure in 2007 and has been certified organic since 2010 under control code IT BIO 014. Its land includes 13 hectares of old alberello vines, 9 hectares of old vines converted into modern rows, and about 2 hectares of olive trees. Vineyards and old-vine plots lie between 550 and 930 metres, and the property farms without irrigation. New vineyards are planted with selections of ungrafted vines, while buckwheat is used to restore organic material without industrial compost. Soil tillage is avoided as much as vintage conditions allow.

Harvesting takes place from mid-October to early November in multiple passes, with yields around 300 to 600 grams per vine in the top vineyards. Grapes are fermented with skins in small neutral tubs, with fermentation lasting at least until alcoholic fermentation is complete. After pressing, wines are stored in neutral vessels to avoid external flavors. Wines intended for earlier bottling go into larger epoxy decanting tanks, while wines with more tannin or structure mature in epoxy tanks of up to 2,500 liters or in epoxy-coated terracotta vessels buried in the cellar. The estate does not use wood for these vessels.

Wine region

Sicily, Italy

Etna DOC follows the slopes of Mount Etna in eastern Sicily, where vineyards occupy volcanic terrain formed by successive lava flows. The soils contain basalt, decomposed lava, ash, lapilli, and sand, with differences between older and newer eruptions visible across short distances. Vineyard elevations commonly range from about 300 to 1,100 metres, while the formal production area is often described between 450 and 1,000 metres. The Mediterranean climate is moderated by altitude, exposure, and marine air from the Ionian coast. Strong day and night temperature differences help preserve acidity during ripening.

Etna DOC was established in 1968 and covers four volcanic slopes divided into 133 contrade across multiple communes, including Randazzo, Castiglione di Sicilia, Linguaglossa, and Zafferana Etnea. Etna Rosso requires at least 80% Nerello Mascalese, with Nerello Cappuccio permitted as a secondary red grape up to 20%. The denomination also includes Rosato, Bianco, Bianco Superiore, Spumante, and Rosso Riserva, with Bianco Superiore restricted to Milo. The contrada system functions as an additional geographic structure rather than a separate quality tier. This bottling is labeled Terre Siciliane IGP rather than Etna DOC.
