MunJebel VA comes from Cornelissen's highest vines, the 'Vigne Alte' planted at altitude on Mount Etna's northern slopes. The MunJebel reds are pure Nerello Mascalese, each parcel labeled with a two-letter code so you can taste the volcano altitude by altitude. Frank, the Belgian former wine importer who chased Burgundy to Sicily, makes them with no additions and meticulous cellar hygiene, so they shimmer with energy rather than funk. The loftiest vines deliver the most tension, lift and saline cut. The 2021 is young and rewards a decant or some cellar time.

"The 2021 Rosso Munjebel VA is a total pleasure on the nose. Darkly expressive, it shows a collage of violets and geraniums mixed with dusty earth, ash and dried black cherry. Cool-toned and fruit-focused within, this displays amazing balance with its silken feel and feminine lift. Wild berries mix with tactile minerals and spices as the 2021 leaves a firm grip of fine tannins but also a bump of zesty acidity to contrast. It's nearly impossible to stop at just one glass." —Eric Guido

"This is my favorite wine from Frank Cornelissen among this group of new releases. The 2021 Munjebel Rosso VA (with just 4,000 bottles created) reveals a straight-shooting style with lively aromas of wild cherry, blue flower and sour pomegranate. To the palate, it shows a lean and firm delivery with a good moment of snap or crunch on the finish. Fruit comes from some of the younger vines in the Vigneto Barbarbecchi at 900 meters above sea level, and more comes from Tartaraci at the 1,000-meter mark high up the volcanic cone. The alcohol content is powerful at 15%." —Monica Larner

"The 2021 VA is stunningly beautiful, featuring flavors of strawberry compote, wild raspberry, white pepper and a hint of olive brine that dance across the palate. Made with Nerello Mascalese from the estate’s highest vineyards in the Tartaraci, Rampante soprana and Barbabecchi crus, it boasts weightless concentration and finesse, with taut, refined tannins and vibrant acidity." —Kerin O'Keefe
