Frank Cornelissen, Munjebel Terre Siciliane PA 2018
Regular price $84.00 Save $-84.00Variety: Nerello Mascalese
Like many before him, Frank Cornelissen fell in love with wine in a romantic fashion. After getting his hands on the coveted DRC, he was naturally committed. After tasting and talking with others in the industry for about 20 years, he began to question the side of wine in a philosophical way. His quest led him to Sicily, where he began to farm in the northern slopes of Mt. Etna, the active volcano. He began to make wine of culture with an approach natural in character. His vines are unlike others in the area as they aren’t planted to high density; instead he has interplanted several forms of vegetation, including fruit trees and buckwheat, allowing the vines to thrive in a polycultural way. The expanse of his love for Etna is reflected in his estate wines, the single vineyard wines, and olive oils. The wines are extremely difficult to come by as they’re allocated; everyone wants these!
'PA' comes from the contrada of Feudo di Mezzo in the vineyard of Porcaria at a mere 640 meters altitude. The vines here are 60 years in age. The location is a complicated one as the fruit here as it’s difficult for the fruit to ripen, though what it yields is truly powerful, yet elegant. Cornelissen uses cement tanks lined with an epoxy sealant that not only allows for easy cleanup, but also keeps the juice from coming into contact with the cement. The juice spends 18 months in these tanks, then another 18 in bottle.

This fruit is from the Cornelissen cru in the contrada of Monte Colla. The vines were planted in 1946 and they call this site the “Hermitage” of Etna. The site makes a wine that’s concentrated, but rich and elegant. Only 2500 bottles of this wine were made. Cornelissen uses cement tanks lined with an epoxy sealant that not only allows for easy cleanup, but also keeps the juice from coming into contact with the cement. The juice spends 18 months in these tanks, then another 18 in bottle.

SRC, 'Alberello' Etna Rosso 2019
Regular price $62.00 Save $-62.00Variety: Nerello Mascalese
SRC is a small family operation that started in just 2013. Amazingly, the wines are low-production and have just recently become available here in Ohio. It is the force of husband and wife duo, Rori and Cinzia, as well as their daughter, Sandra. This is how SRC gets its name—an acronym of all their names. The project began as a small plot of land of just 0.5 hectares that Rori purchased as a surprise for Cinzia, one that went over rather well as the family continued acquiring land. The identity of Etna comes through in each of SRC’s wines where they showcase the ancient low-yielding vines, the volcanic soils, and the charming Mediterranean spirit. The family uses a careful hand in the cellar, allowing the fruit to shine—no sulfur and minimal oak ageing. We agree with many who say these wines are truly representative of their sense of place more so than any other place in the world.
“Alberello” is the name of this site boasting vines up to 100 years old that never saw phylloxera. The vines are home to softer volcanic ash on this part of the volcano allowing for a softer and intensely aromatic wine showcasing the real charm of Nerello Mascalese. The juice ages in concrete for twelve months, allowing the Albello’s purity to really shine.

SRC, 'Rivaggi' Etna Rosso 2019
Regular price $62.00 Save $-62.00Variety: Nerello Mascalese & Grenache
SRC is a small family operation that started in just 2013. Amazingly, the wines are low-production and have just recently become available here in Ohio. It is the force of husband and wife duo, Rori and Cinzia, as well as their daughter, Sandra. This is how SRC gets its name—an acronym of all their names.

The family uses a careful hand in the cellar, allowing the fruit to shine—no sulfur and minimal oak ageing. We agree with many who say these wines are truly representative of their sense of place more so than any other place in the world.
This is an entirely different approach to Nerello comparatively. Here, the fruit comes from 80 year old vines growing at almost 1000 meters in elevation. Grenache, known for growing well at high altitudes, makes up the remaining fifth of the blend. The juice goes through a unique winemaking journey; it ages in steel first, then a couple months in used French barrels, and finally back into the steel to complete the ageing. “Rivaggi” has everything going for it; the wine has backbone and elegance, fruit and minerality, acidity and aromatics.

Bonavita, Faro DOC 2017
Regular price $45.00 Save $-45.00Variety: Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, and Nocera
The small holding of Bonavita has been in the family of Giovanni Scarfone for more than 100 years in the small region of Faro, which is northeast of Etna. After studying agriculture at school in Bologna, Giovanni opted to return and put to practice what he had learned. He converted his vineyards to organic, even though his father and grandfather never used chemicals anyway. Before the 2006 vintage, only the family consumed the wines made on the farm. The vineyards sit atop a large hill in the town of Faro. Lower down the hill is the family’s garage doubling as a wine cellar. The family creates wines reminiscent of Etna Rosso, although at a lower altitude and with the addition of the Nocera variety to add acidity.
Only 7000 bottles of this wine are made. The fermentation takes place in both oak and steel with a long maceration of the skins anywhere from 20-60 days. The juice ages in a mix of smaller 30 liter oak barrels, steel, and cement for two years, and then another year in the bottle before its release.

Girolamo Russo, Etna Rosso San Lorenzo 2016
Regular price $75.00 Save $-75.00Variety: Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio
Imagine owning vineyards on the foothills of an active volcano. Nutty though it may seem, to winemaker Giuseppe Russo, it’s just a way of life. Some lava flow is so recent you can’t even plant on it! The vineyards are very high nearing 800 feet above sea level, often using narrow terraces held up by stone walls. The vines must survive in these mineral-rich soils, which thrive considering there is often no rain in summer. Many of the vineyards are surrounded by olive and hazelnut groves, all whilst growing at the base of Europe’s largest active volcano, Mount Etna.
San Lorenzo is a single vineyard coming from the larger contrada of Randazzo. These are coplanted 80 year old vines that sit at a relatively high altitude of 750 plus meters above sea level. Only the oldest vines from a single hectare parcel are used for this wine. San Lorenzo is aged in a variety of formats, with large barrels, cement, and vats.

Regular price $34.00 Save $-34.00Variety: Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio
Giuseppe Russo left his native Sicily for a time, trained as a pianist and music teacher, and studied literature. But when his father, Girolamo, died, Giuseppe returned in 2005 to make “the best wines (I) can in this exceptional, often challenging but uniquely beautiful area.” Although the Russo family calls the area in and around Passopisciaro home, it is an interesting and dynamic place that is attracting winemakers from the all over the world. The Russos have 26 hectares of land, 15 planted to vineyards and the rest to olives and hazelnut groves. Their vineyards are on the north face of Europe’s largest active volcano, Mount Etna, in the north-eastern corner of Sicily.
'A Rina' comes from various contradas, notably San Lorenzo, Feudo, Calderara Sottana, Feudo di Mezzo. Vines range in age from 20 to 100 years old. Ageing is done between oak and concrete for about one year.
