94 points James Suckling: "This is extremely floral with rose stem undertones. Hints of candied cherries and orange peel. Medium to full body with a tannin structure that grows on your palate. It’s chewy and rather linear with a crunchy finish. Nice blue fruit with a beeswax undertone. Give it time to soften. Drink after 2026. (9/2/23)"

93 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The Frank Cornelissen 2020 Cuvée Le Vigna Alta is pretty much all Nerello Mascalese with a small part of Alicante in the blend. The wine is classified as an IGT now but is slated to become a Sicilia DOC with the next release. Fruit comes from the Tartaraci Vineyard at about 1,000 meters in elevation (and otherwise outside the Etna DOC limits) and other sites. This is an enticing wine with a level of softness and floral intensity that we don't see in the others. The wine renders aromas of underbrush, wildflower and violets. Drink: 2022-2030. (6/30/23)"

Munjebel VA is the red wine by Conelissen born from the Nerello Mascalese old vines located at the highest altitudes, until 1.000 metres. It expresses itself with elegance and volcanic energy. The perfumes evokes small red fruits, red flowers, underbush and also the flint. The taste is mineral, savory, long and vibrant.
