2022 Frank Cornelissen 'Munjebel' Bianco

Munjebel Bianco is a refined and textural expression of Etna’s white wines, crafted from a blend of Grecanico Dorato and Carricante. Originally developed in a more skin-contact driven style, the approach gradually shifted toward shorter maceration, aiming for greater precision, aromatic clarity, and vertical freshness while retaining the characteristic depth and tactile structure of the volcanic soils. The result is a white wine that balances density and finesse, shaped by altitude, mineral tension and ageing.

In the glass, it shows a bright straw yellow with golden reflections. The nose is composed and expressive, with notes of citrus zest, white peach, and pear, layered with floral hints and a subtle herbal, smoky minerality. On the palate, it is structured yet vibrant, combining clean acidity with a gently textured mouthfeel. The finish is long and precise, defined by a saline, volcanic edge and a persistent sense of energy.

This is a versatile gastronomic white, built not only for freshness but for pairing breadth and table presence. It is made for those who appreciate white wines with structure, subtle complexity, and a clear sense of origin. It's a wine for the ones who prefer tension over softness, and depth over immediate fruit.

Ideal with refined seafood, shellfish, grilled fish, and white meats, as well as Mediterranean dishes where acidity, texture, and minerality play an equal role.
