Frank Cornelissen 'Pistemutta' Rosso Sicily, Italy 2020

Vintage: 2020

Pairing Ideas: Crunchy, bright red fruit and earthy all at once. Driven by red fruit and garden herbs.  It's an all-star player who can do it all.  Don't question it; you need to grab a bottle. It will make everything you eat taste even better, especially cured meats and tomato-based soup.  

Producer Profile: Frank's farming philosophy is based on accepting that man will never be able to understand nature’s full complexity and interactions. Therefore, he chooses to concentrate on observing and learning the movements of Mother Earth in her various energetic and cosmic passages and prefers to follow her indications as to what to do instead of deciding and imposing himself. Consequently, this has caused him to possibly avoid all treatments on the land we cultivate, whether homeopathic, organic, or biodynamic. Accepting and following nature is his guideline as the divine ability to understand the ‘Whole’ was not given to man as we are only a part of this complex and not God himself. Real Mt. Etna magic here!
