Frank Cornelissen Magma 2014 (750ml)

On Europe's most active volcano, Belgian-born Frank Cornelissen coaxes liquid fire into bottles of profound purity. His extreme natural approach—ungrafted vines, no additives, amphora aging—yields wines that taste like distilled sunlight on basalt: the MunJebel series crackles with volcanic minerality, while Contadino blends indigenous grapes into a vibrant, living mosaic. These are wines of radical transparency, where Nerello Mascalese reveals its naked soul—all wild cherries, woodsmoke, and electric tension. Not polished, not predictable, but pulsating with the raw energy of a land where vines grow in the shadow of an ever-smoldering crater.
