Sicily

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, and also one of the most productive regions and certainly one of the patriots of Italian wine. In recent years, producers have focused more on quality than on quantity, achieving excellent results. In Sicily, the most cultivated white berry is the Catarratto, followed by the Grillo, the Inzolia, while with Black Berries we find the Black of Avola and the Frappato. Given the great size and varied aspect of the region we can divide Sicily into several areas: In the province of Trapani, which is the most productive area in the region, a dozen DOCs are concentrated, including the legendary Marsala. The bred vines are Inzolia, Grecanico, Damascus, Cricket, among those with white berry, and still Nero d'Avola, Perricone, Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Capuccio and Sirah those with Red berries. Between Palermo and Caltanissetta there are the denominations Sambuca di Sicilia, Santa Margherita del Belice, Contessa Entellina and Sclafani County. The bred vines are Chardonnay, Inzolia, Gràcia, Merlot, Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Between Caltanissetta and Ragusa we find the only DOCG of Sicily, the Cerasuolo di Vittoria, obtained from grapes of Nero d'Avola and Frappato. A soft, enveloping red. On the slopes of Etna, where we find vineyards that reach a thousand meters high, white wines are produced based on Carricante and Catarratto, and red from Nerello Mascalese and in a small part Cappuccio. In the Siracusa area, in addition to the classic white and red wines, this province also offers wonderful dessert wines such as Moscato di Siracusa and Noto. To note the Eloro of Pachino, obtained from Nero d'Avola, it shows thick and full bodied. In the eastern part of Sicily there are two interesting DOCs; Lighthouse, a red grape from Nerello Mascalese and Cappuccio, and Mamertino, an historic DOC known in Roman times, whose wine is obtained from a blend of Nocera, Nero d'Avola and Nerello Mascalese. In the archipelago of Lipari, the delicious Lipari Malvasia is produced in sweet, passionate and liqueur versions, from the unmistakable scents of dried apricot. In Pantelleria, the island in the province of Trapani, the Zibibbo is cultivated in very low saplings. The zibibbo is vinified in the Moscato or Passita version.

The Perpetuum represents a fascinating return to origins for Frank Cornelissen, a traditional interpretation of his renowned Munjebel. With an approach that recalls historical winemaking practices, this cuvée combines different vintages to give life to a wine that expresses the complexity and richness of the territory. The choice to assemble the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019 vintages is an act of delicacy and respect towards the winemaking heritage, particularly for those who have appreciated the more classic versions of Munjebel. The spontaneous fermentation and long maceration on the skins demonstrate Cornelissen's commitment to enhancing the varietal and territorial characteristics of the grapes, creating a wine that truly speaks of its production environment. The refinement process of at least 18 months and the subsequent rest in the bottle allow the aromas and flavors to integrate perfectly, offering a rich and complex tasting experience. The philosophy of the perpetual method, which involves adding new vintages to the tank, is an innovative way of creating a living and constantly evolving wine, testimony to the art and passion of Frank Cornelissen. For anyone wishing to explore a wine that combines tradition and innovation, Perpetuum is certainly an option to consider, promising to delight palates with its richness and depth, evoking memories of a bygone era.
