Frank Cornelissen "Susucaru" - Rosso

2022

This cuvée is a blend of several vineyards, including some fruit from Camp Re and Feudi di Mezza that doesn't go into the single vineyard bottlings. A field blend of mostly Nerello Mascalese (85%) with the rest made up of Nerello Cappuccio, Alicante Bouschet, Minella and Uva Francesa. The 2017 vintage was quite warm and ripe, and the wine shows generous dark, wild berry fruit on top of an intense mineral character and hints of smoke. Lots of character and energy in this wine.
