Tasting Notes: The Musella Recioto della Valpolicella presents a deep, intense ruby color and offers vibrant aromas of cherry bark, ripe plum, black currant, cedar, and vanilla. On the palate, this sweet dessert wine is lusciously velvety, balanced by a natural freshness and acidity that prevents it from being cloying. Flavors of rich cherry cordial, dried fruits, licorice, and mocha lead to a long, satisfying finish with fine, well-structured tannins.
Estate History: Musella is a historic estate and natural oasis located just outside Verona, where the Pasqua family settled in 1995 to embark on a project of quality viticulture. Maddalena Pasqua di Bisceglie introduced biodynamic farming practices to the 400-hectare property, which includes wild forests, olive groves, and vineyards, in 2009, with the estate achieving Demeter certification in 2014. The winery, housed in a carefully restored 16th-century rural courtyard and former stable, focuses on natural winemaking without the use of chemicals or selected yeasts, aiming to enhance the typicality of local grape varieties while respecting the land's original integrity.
