Sourced from contrada Monte Colla at 780 to 800 meters in elevation, Frank refers to this as his 'Hermitage' of Etna, as it comes from vines planted in 1946 to an extremely steep and terraced vineyard, which is exposed to sun and wind and sits directly north of Etna's smouldering peak. 100% Nerello Mascalese, the 2020 MC opens with dark floral tones and a mix of dusty roses, ash and dried black cherries. Silky and serene, this stands out for its vibrant red berry fruits and hints of sour citrus, becoming quite spicy toward the close.
