Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Susucaru is Frank Cornelissen's entry-point rosé from Nerello Mascalese grown on the volcanic slopes of Etna, made with minimal intervention and typically some skin contact. It's a pale, lively wine driven by bright red fruit and a saline, volcanic minerality that is the unmistakable fingerprint of Etna's basalt soils. Expect a refreshing, almost nervous acidity, low tannin, and a dry, food-friendly finish with real character for its casual positioning.
Serving: Serve at 8–10 °C.
