Description

The Musella estate situated just west of Verona was founded by Emilio Pasqua Di Bisceglie, his daughter Maddalena manages the vineyards and the winemaking is by his nephew Enrico Raber. Maddalena is the driving force behind the conversion of their three vineyards to biodynamic farming and Enrico’s wines are elegant, multi layered and very long on the palate.

Their superb 2017 Amarone Riserva is sourced from the oldest and best vines from their three vineyards. The grapes, 50% Corvina, 35% Corvinone, 5% Rondinella and 10% Oseleta, are air dried, losing at least 35% of their original weight, concentrating sugars, aromatic components and tannins. The grapes are gently pressed and given a long cool maceration and fermentation and aging in a mix of sizes of French oak barrels for two years and further cellaring after bottling of at least 12 months.
