Drink it now or cellar for up to 15 years. No need to decant, but best to open it half an hour before service.
Frank Cornelissen is a Belgian-born winemaker living in Sicily. He founded his winery in 2001, in Solicchiata, on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, and produces artisanal wines of excellent quality and character from his vineyards spread across micro-plots between 650 and 980 meters above sea level.
Cornelissen's Munjebel Rosso is an artisanal wine made from Nerello Mascalese grapes. The grapes are hand-picked in the districts of Chiusa Spagnolo, Monte Colla, Porcaria, Crasa, and Piano Daini on the northern slopes of Etna, from bush-trained vines that are over 60 years old. The diverse grape origins ensure the production of an extremely balanced wine that combines power and elegance. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in fiberglass tanks, and the finished wine then ages for 18 months in fiberglass tanks.
In the glass, the wine reveals a vibrant, deep ruby color and a broad, complex aromatic profile with notes of berries, Mediterranean scrub, spices, mineral hints, and citrus zest. On the palate, it is powerful, structured, fresh, and extremely elegant. It has a mineral character with savory notes and a long, fruity finish. Try it with spaghetti and meatballs, pasta alla norma, and roasted salmon.

Frank Cornelissen Munjebel Rosso 2022
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
