MAGMA by Frank Cornelissen: Etna’s Wild Heart in a Bottle
Frank Cornelissen’s iconic “Grand Vin”, and one of the most electric wines to ever rise from the slopes of Mount Etna. Sourced from the revered Barbabecchi Soprano vineyard, MAGMA is the boldest expression of Nerello Mascalese—intensely pure, defiantly elegant, and unapologetically volcanic.
In the glass, it shimmers deep ruby. On the nose? A full-on sensory lava flow: ripe strawberries, sweet cherries, orange zest, and that signature smoky, mineral whisper of cooled magma rock. The palate is plush and graceful, yet grounded by volcanic grit and structure—a wine that’s somehow both featherlight and profoundly deep.
What sets MAGMA apart? Zero shortcuts. No lab yeasts, no sulfur, no oak, no filtration—just grapes and raw nature, with obsessive attention to purity. Every bottle is a living snapshot of Etna’s extremes: its power, its elegance, its wild soul.
