Musella

“

Our Amarone expresses the vitality of the heart of the vine, the first to spark off energy, it reminds you of fresh fruit and “good cheer”. We age several different wines in marble cylinders, red marble from Verona, which has no fissures, so we respect the vine’s life cycle, because the wine comes “home” to rest, given that the marble is composed of red clay from the Lessini Mountains and lime.

Musella is located within a 500-hectare natural park with incredible biodiversity and a long agricultural tradition, home to a historic vineyard, where a Steiner-style biodynamic project was started, in which wine “is what we make, and grapes are all that’s in it”.

History

Home to a historic vineyard, where a Steiner-style biodynamic project was started, in which wine “is what we make, and grapes are all that’s in it”. Since 2009 Musella has been biodynamic, and Demeter-certified since 2014

Family

The company is led by Emilio Pasqua di Bisceglie, founder and owner, with the help of his daughter Maddalena and grandson Enrico Raber. The winery is located in a rural court that dates back to the sixteenth century, surrounded by meadows and bordering the Fibbio stream, inside a natural park. The family has always pursued a single goal: to make wine when the conditions are right and when the season has been favorable, interpreting the beauty of the terroir.

Wines

The vineyards are arranged on three different hills facing west (Monte del Drago, Perlar and Palazzina), on soils composed mainly of red clays and tuff, and oriented to follow the movement of the sun and the prevailing winds. Musella is the southernmost farm in Valpolicella and this means a few degrees higher temperature than the area average, and a consequent precocious ripening of the grapes. The continuous search for elegance is the cornerstone of Musella wines, the only way to express a territory as rich in nuances as that of this extraordinary natural oasis.
