'Susucaru Bianco' Frank Cornelissen 2024
The 'Susucaru Bianco' by Frank Cornelissen was born in 2021 with the idea of creating a fresh and drinkable Sicilian white wine but with a strong territorial identity. The work unites the western Sicily of Alcamo, a historic area for Catarratto, and the Etna area with Carricante and Grecanico Dorato to obtain a wine with an agile and saline character that remains tied to a non-invasive vinification. The approach aims for a lighter and more immediate style compared to the more structured production of the winery, with spontaneous fermentations and a brief contact on the skins of only 3 hours. On the nose, it moves between citrus and white flowers with hints of Mediterranean herbs, while on the palate it maintains tension and smoothness with a savory finish. Excellent paired with a cuttlefish salad, potatoes, and celery with extra virgin olive oil
