2021 Frank Cornelissen 'Pistemutta' Rosso Terre Siciliane IGT Sicily, Italy
$24.99
Pistemutta represents the old-school winemaking on Etna of local farmers, called “contadino”. Wines with little skin contact, light bodied, fluid and elegant. This project makes me happy as it takes me back into the history of Etna, before I started producing wines here on Etna.

Filtering: Before bottling with PE cartridges of 5 micron
