Lush, dense and loaded with dark fruit and spice. This is true to its position on the north slope. Just a delicious and dense wine.

Super juicy with tons of dark fruit and all the minerality you expect from these wines. Enough tannin to hold it all together. Great with short ribs over mushroom risotto.

NerMasc Cru from the well known Feudi di Mezzo Contrada, I enjoyed this one more than MC, lush and velvety, enough tannins for structure, tasting notes read: the darkest of cherrys and JUICY #frankcornelissen #vulcanterroir

Don't get to drink his wines often. First sip had huge tannins. Later, with food got softer, juicy, rich. Blind I wouldn't have been able to come close
15%alcohol on the label tho I didn't find it hot, just rich and big. Really good!
