Frank Cornelissen
Susucaru Dry Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese
2020 vintage is a simple quaffable light Sicilian red, with a smidge of gun powder on the nose. Not nearly as funky as his other releases, nor as complex. Tart. Worth a chill.

Dec 7th, 2024Fresh and bright with false effervescence that blows off with some air. Ash, olive brine, and tart cranberry notes. Bit of funk not over the top or overly complex. Makes me crave grilled salmon with a teriyaki glaze.

Jul 13th, 2019The most affordable Frank Cornelissen wine is this Rosé, I believe. This looks and smells somewhat like a Jura red, tending a little bit more towards the classic Rosé aroma but earthier. Crisp, tart, berry fruits with the slightest touch of tannin. Seems to be less funky and lighter than prior vintages. Simple but pleasant. Not as much going on as I hoped.

Nov 25th, 2024Very funky on the nose. It seems to open in the glass but I left it overnight and still has funk from the bottle. I wonder if it got too warm in the store. Anyway it still has a great game, herbal, floral, and bright cherry fruit. Best with food. I didn’t like as much as last year though.
