Munjebel MC (Monte Colla) Nerello Mascalese

Probably the most structured and darkest munjebel due to the higher clay content of the soil. Missing some acidity, dark red fruit, spices and earthy tones. A bit flabby and heady. Missing the grip of the other munjebels.

Lots of dark fruit rather than red, particularly relative to his other wines. Tons of tannins.

Ripe cherry and strawberry fruit is rounded out by those wild, charred beef notes Cornelissen's oddball Sicilian wines are known for. Tasty and very distinctive!
