I recently picked up a bottle of Munjebel BB for a good friend as a gift, and figured I would grab one for myself. Given the $100ish price point I was wondering about longevity and aging this wine.
Curious if anyone else has had this wine with some aging or if I should just drink it with some friends sooner rather than later.
100% Nerello Mascalese and 12.5% ABV

Really interesting producer. Just FYI the Munjebel is not the Magma, Magma is the top cru, they did not in fact make a Magma in 2018 due to a not great vintage.
2018 was a weird year for Sicily with cool temps and lots of rain. This leads to the low alcohol by volume. I read that they used sulfur for the first time ever in 2018. .
Due to these facts adding in that it is a natural wine I probably wouldn’t lay this one down for very long, enjoy it with some friends!
