{"product_id":"munjebel-rosso-pa-frank-cornelissen-sicily-italy-natural-wine","title":"Munjebel Rosso PA 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Munjebel Rosso PA comes from the Porcaria cru within contrada Feudo di Mezzo on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, at 640 meters elevation. The vines are over 60 years old and trained in the traditional alberello (bush vine) system on volcanic basalt soils. The designation PA stands for Porcaria, one of several single-contrada bottlings Cornelissen produces to map the distinct expressions of Etna's north face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, grapes are destemmed and undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, with 60 days of skin contact in neutral epoxy-resin tanks. The wine then ages for 18 months in glass-resin vessels of 1,500 to 2,500 liters. No oak is used at any stage. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration and with no added sulfites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 vintage on Etna produced lighter, more delicate wines with notably fresh acidity and moderate concentration. The PA bottling at this elevation shows dark berry fruit, ripe currants, and rose notes alongside characteristic volcanic mineral tension. Tannins are present but fine-grained, and the finish carries a saline, stony quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is classified as Terre Siciliane IGT rather than Etna DOC because some of Cornelissen's vineyard sites sit above the DOC demarcation lines. No oak, no additives, no compromises on site specificity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frank Cornelissen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14096009199671,"sku":"CORNMUPA17C","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/munjebel-rosso-pa-frank-cornelissen-sicily-italy-natural-wine.jpg?v=1780686300","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/munjebel-rosso-pa-frank-cornelissen-sicily-italy-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
