Winemaking on the edge of the vulcano
The Etna DOC unfolds across the slopes of the volcano like a crescent moon, with Randazzo to the north and Biancavilla to the south. It’s home to 133 Contrade, each a distinct subzone of historical importance.
Frank Cornelissen’s single-vineyard wines offer a window into the geological complexity of the northern Etna valley. Each cru, distinct in its character, is crafted from one of the exceptional vineyards that dot the landscape, vinified and bottled separately.
The diversity and quality of these wines are a testament to the unique terroir of this remarkable region—one that, in its depth and variety, rivals the world’s finest winegrowing areas.
