Join to read it and the restMunjebel "classico" is one more estate wine, made solely from Nerello Mascalese grapes sourced from various vineyards. Some of these vineyards are the best parcels where Frank produces cru wines such as Zottorinoto-Chiusa Spagnolo, Feudo di Mezzo-sottana and Porcaria. Other vineyards are specifically designated for this particular wine, such as Rampante sottana, Piano Daini and Crasà. Frank aims to create an interpretation of traditional, well-balanced and rich Northern Valley Etna wine with Munjebel "classico".
The grapes used in the wine come from vines that are 50+ years old on average. The grapes are destemmed, crushed lightly and then fermented using only indigenous yeasts with skin contact for approximately 50 days. The wine is then aged for around 12 months in neutral epoxy tanks ranging from 2500 to 7000 litres in size.
