Who: Frank Cornelissen

What: 100% Nerello Mascalese

Feudo di Mezzo as a contrada with profound differences between the upper and lower parts of the valley, with FM being the bottling from the lower section (PA comes from the upper). Although lower in the valley floor where one would expect bigger wines, the wines are of an unusual elegance which characterizes this area. Relatively deep soil which, in humid vintages can create some problems although the well ventilated site helps to get ripeness. Burgundian elegance and roundness, even in hot vintages makes this a special wine with great finesse.
