Susucaru 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.

Textural and aromatic intensity.

Fresh 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.

Iconoclastic and delicious. Rocks, funk and all kinds of juicy red and black fruit

The 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.

First wine from Frank Cornelissen and met my expectations. Light fruity chuggable.

2017 vintage. Opened 11/25

Nose a bit of manure on day 1 but fresh otherwise

Some frizzante and funk on the nose which dissipated with time.
