Its vineyards cover three different hillside locations on south and west-facing slopes, which offer a remarkable differentiation of soil types: the Monte del Drago, Perlar and Palazzina hills. Owner and winemaker, Maddalena Pasqua is incredibly passionate about biodynamic farming, biodiversity and transparent winemaking and her love for nature and deep respect for the soil led her to become one of the most fervent ambassadors of biodynamics in Italy. Her wines possess a rare, vibrant, zesty purity and juiciness seldom found in Amarone, all while maintaining impressive depth and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"musella-valpolicella-superiore-ripasso","title":"Musella Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eMusella's Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso is a red wine blend of Corvina (85%), Rondinella (10%) and Barbera (5%) grapes, grown in the Veneto region northeast of Verona, in the hill that divides Montorio from the Valle d’Illasi.

The bunches, selected and collected in crates, are placed in a special ventilated room to be dried according to the famous drying process (Appassimento). The grapes loose at least 35% of their original weight, thus concentrating sugars, aromatic components and noble tannins. In the following January, the soft pressing takes place and the fermentation starts and a long maceration allows maximum extraction of the fruit. The wine remains for 24 months in French oak tonneaux and in larger barrels (3500 and 5000 liters); after bottling, it remains to refine at least a year before being released. The nose displays aromas of dried fruits, including plum and black cherry, complemented by sweet spices like cinnamon and hints of herbs and tobacco. This is a bold, full-bodied wine that is opulent yet harmonious on the palate, with deep, concentrated fruit flavors. Layers of dark cherry, plum, and bitter chocolate are present, along with a pleasant tanginess. It has a smooth, velvety texture and a long, lingering finish.

Located in the Veneto, northeast of Verona, in the hill that divides Montorio from the Valle d’Illasi, Musella follows biodynamic principles in its vineyards. To produce this Amarone della Valpolicella only the healthiest and ripest bunches of grapes are harvested and they then undergo a particular drying process (Appassimento) which takes place on special drying racks in naturally, well-ventilated rooms. During this process, the grapes lose at least 40% of their original weight, concentrating sugars, aromatic compounds and noble tannins. In January the grapes are gently pressed and fermentation begins at the low winter ripening temperature (13-17 C). After fermentation the wine is transferred into large oak barrels of various origins for 24 months and then aged for 12 months in concrete tanks. The resulting wine is deep ruby in colour and has a complex bouquet of dried fruits and sweet spices.
