Frank Cornelissen MunJebel MC Rosso 2019
This bottle was tasted blind, and a faint spritz at first made me guess Gamay.

In the glass
The wine was natural in style. Then, little by little, Italian tannins and aromas came up. It was somewhat weighty, with a sweetness on the tip of the tongue, so I thought it was not Nebbiolo but something like Brunello di Montalcino. A natural style that still tastes like Brunello di Montalcino, I thought, means the guess should go to Nerello Mascalese.
