The estate draws its unique character not just from the natural beauty that surrounds it, but also from the pure and unwavering vision of its creator, Frank Cornelissen. Originally from Belgium, Frank left his native country and traveled the world in search of a place that could satisfy his love for wine. He settled in Sicily in the late 1990s and designed the estate to capture the soul of the unique volcanic landscape that surrounds him. The estate is situated on the arid and rocky slopes of Mount Etna, the largest active volcano in Europe. This location offers the vines an uncommon combination of warm sunny days, cool nights, and nutrient-rich volcanic lands, creating an exceptional terroir for wine production. Frank Cornelissen is a fervent follower of natural and biodegradable winemaking, without the use of chemicals or the artificial manipulation of wine. He is dedicated to the purest expression of the volcanic terrain, producing wines of impressive intensity and complexity. His range includes deep reds, bright whites, and fruity rosés, all made from indigenous grape varieties of the region. What distinguishes the Frank Cornelissen Estate is its non-interventionist approach allowing a real expression of the terroir and a genuine personality in each bottle. Each wine is created with the least possible human intervention, leading to a natural product that embodies the true character of the volcanic soil and Mediterranean climate.
