Frank Cornelissen farms steep old vineyards on the north slope of Mount Etna, working without chemicals and bottling with almost no sulfur. The Susucaru Rosato is a field blend of Malvasia, Moscadella, Catarratto and a little Nerello Mascalese, picked together and given a short maceration on the skins. The 2025 is bright and savory, tasting of wild strawberry, blood orange and a salty volcanic edge. Serve it cold with grilled shrimp, crudo or a plate of cured meats.
