This is a classic example of a balanced Amarone. Giant notes of cherry liqueur, cooked plums, cinnamon, resin, leather and cloves greet you from the glass. The palate is rich, but with an energetic acidity that keeps its full body in motion. Velvet-like tannins introduce a lengthy spicy, earthy and smoky finish. Structured to last decades, best enjoyed during chilly nights.

Since 1995, the Pasqua Di Bisceglie family has worked to return this grand estate to its noble viticultural past. Replanting historic hillside vineyards to native grape varieties such as Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella as well as rejuvenating the land through biodynamic cultivation, the family in two short decades has established the wines of Musella as the true benchmarks for Valpolicella and Amarone.
