Frank Cornelissen Susucaru Rosato 2022 is anything but your typical rosé. A blend of Malvasia, Moscadella, Insolia, and Nerello Mascalese from high-altitude vineyards on Mount Etna, this lively, unfiltered beauty bursts with wild strawberries, blood orange, and a whisper of volcanic smoke. Juicy yet bone-dry, with a salty, mouthwatering finish. 

Frank Cornelissen is a formative, revered figure in the modern Sicilian wine scene, with a cult following globally. Having worked in the wine trade in Belgium, he quickly recognised the potential for wine growing in the northern valleys on the island’s active volcano Mount Etna. He has an unrelenting commitment to being hands off, even avoiding organic, biodynamic and homeopathic intervention. From Alberello trained bush vines, fruit is harvested at extremely low crop levels, with the trimming of individual bunches a common practice to aid ripening. Fermentation and aging are done in epoxy lined vessels so that there’s no absorption of external flavours like oak. Purity by a purist.
