Etna Rosato "Susucaru", Frank Cornelissen 2022 (Sicily, Italy)

This is a blend of Nerello Mascalese and 3 white grapes- Malvasia, Catarratto and Moscadella, from 5 different vineyards averaging 50 years old, all destemmed and lightly crushed, then fermented with native yeast on the skins for 10 days and aged in epoxy tanks, then bottled lightly filtered with no sulfur added. Believe the hype.
On the nose, it offers an intense aromatic bouquet with notes of ripe red fruit, citrus fruits, aromatic herbs and a slight minerality.
In the mouth, the Susucaro Rosato is characterized by a pleasant acidity, a light structure and a remarkable tension. It is a vibrant wine, with good length and a dry finish.
