Musella

2018 Amarone della Valpolicella, Musella

Veneto, ItalyVintage: 2014

The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG by Musella is a masterful expression of Valpolicella’s rich winemaking heritage, crafted with biodynamic precision and a deep respect for tradition. Sourced from estate vineyards nestled in the hills northeast of Verona, this wine is a blend of 50% Corvinone, 45% Corvina, 5% Rondinella, and 5% Oseleta. 

The grapes undergo the traditional Appassimento process, where they are dried in well-ventilated rooms, losing at least 40% of their original weight. This concentrates their sugars, aromatic compounds, and noble tannins. In January, the grapes are gently pressed, and fermentation begins at low winter temperatures (13–17°C). The wine is then aged for 24 months in 3,500 to 5,000-litre oak barrels, followed by 12 months in concrete tanks, allowing it to develop depth and complexity. 

In the glass, this Amarone reveals a deep ruby hue. The nose is rich with aromas of sweet cherries, dried fruits, spices, and hints of bitter chocolate and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and opulent, offering a harmonious balance of concentrated fruit flavours and a pleasantly tangy finish. The wine’s structure is supported by its 15.6% alcohol content, providing a robust yet refined experience.

Description

Nestled in the lush, rolling hills of San Martino Buon Albergo just outside Verona, Tenuta Musella is a beacon of elegance, sustainability, and terroir-driven winemaking in the heart of the Valpolicella region. The estate’s vineyards stretch across three distinctive hillside locations—Monte del Drago, Perlar, and Palazzina—each with unique soil compositions and exposures, offering exceptional diversity and depth to the wines.

At the heart of Musella is Maddalena Pasqua, the visionary and highly skilled winemaker whose passion for nature and reverence for the land have positioned her as one of Italy’s leading voices in biodynamic viticulture. Her commitment to holistic, regenerative farming practices has transformed Musella into a living, breathing ecosystem, where the energy of the vineyard is captured in every bottle.

Maddalena’s approach yields wines of remarkable purity and balance—expressive, focused, and full of vitality. Each cuvée tells the story of its origin, crafted with minimal intervention to allow the land to speak through the glass. Musella’s portfolio, led by their soulful Amarone and elegant Valpolicella selections, embodies a perfect harmony between tradition, innovation, and environmental stewardship.

The healthiest and ripest bunches of grapes harvested undergo a particular drying process (Appassimento) which takes place, on plateaux, in naturally well- ventilated rooms. 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). Transfer for 24 months in 3500 and 5000 lt oak barrels of various origins and compositions, then aged for 12 months in concrete tanks.
