The wine, which has been known by the name Contadino (Farmer) since 2003, was named Suscal Rosso in 2016, its final vintage. The 2017 vintage saw the name change to Suscal Rosso. When Frank first released Contadino, he knew there was already a wine called Contadino in Germany. He discovered that there were many other "Contadino" wines around the world, and decided to rename it to something more personal.

This red wine is made primarily from Nerello Mascalese, blended with Nerello Cappuccio, Minnella, Alicante, and other French varieties. The grapes are carefully destemmed and lightly pressed, and then undergo a 30-day maceration and alcoholic fermentation with a small amount of crushed grapes (pied de cuve) before the full harvest. The wine is aged in fiberglass tanks of various sizes, ranging from 2,500 to 7,000 liters.

Frank Cornelissen

"Frank Cornelissen" attracts the most attention in Etna, Sicily!

The latest vintage is now in stock.
Among the producers who claim to be natural, Frank Cornelissen is the most aggressive winemaker.
He was originally a wine merchant in Belgium and is a close friend of Mr. Ota, the president of the importer Vinaiota, and when we talk to him, he seems to be a very stoic person.
Organic farming, no pesticides, no fertilizers, and even Bordeaux liquid is used as little as possible (not used at all in 2001 and 2004). Fruits removed from the sorting process are returned to the fields to be used as fertilizer. We are creating a cycle back to nature.

It has been more than 15 years since Frank's wine has been introduced to Japan, but I still clearly remember the first time I drank Frank's wine.

As a result of Frank's commitment to only the perfect grapes, he was able to harvest only 5 kg of ``Magma'' from one plot.
A wine that makes you feel the intense passion of the creator, for better or for worse. To be frank, I'm not sure if I'd call this wine ``delicious,'' but there is no doubt that it was a frighteningly impressive liquid with surprising tension.

And Frank's wines in recent years. Extremely sophisticated, truly delicious, and has a deep flavor.
I sometimes think that maybe his mental state at the time is expressed in the wine.
In that sense, he may also be a wine maker and an "artist"...

This time we have arrived a cru series that expresses the individuality of each field of "Mungebelle Rosso", which is the core of Frankish wine.
This time we have 6 cru wines in stock!!

Mt. Etna is a mountain, so naturally the fields are on a slope with a slope. There are many fields of dark soil made of volcanic rock. Rather than a large field, there are many small plots. It is a unique land with completely different characteristics depending on the direction of the field and altitude.
