Musella Amarone Della Valpolicella DOCG 2017| ewineasia.com

The Amarone from the Musella winery is a full-bodied and intense expression of the Valpolicella Region: a rich and complex wine aged in medium and large barrels. An aromatic range of black cherries, ripe red fruit and sweet spices integrates with balance in an elegant and structured sip.

Musella's Amarone winemaking focuses on natural, biodynamic methods, using the traditional appassimento process where hand-harvested grapes dry for months, concentrating sugars and flavors. Key steps include foot-crushing, fermentation with indigenous yeasts in wooden vats, long maceration, aging in French oak casks (often 700L or larger) for years, and bottling unfined/unfiltered, emphasizing elegance, territory, and minimal intervention for a rich, balanced wine.
