Musella | Veneto

Valpolicella Superiore DOC 2018 (Bio)

The grapes for this Valpolicella come from 10-year-old vineyards near Monte del Drago. The result is a red wine of medium weight, fine elegance and balance. To be sure, the Valpolicella name still suffers from the region's misdeeds in the 1980s and 1990s. However, producers like Musella prove that an everyday wine doesn't have to be a sweet, thin infusion. The months of aging in large wooden barrels also suggest how much care Maddalena Pasqua gives to her entry-level wine. - Gerardo [TS08/19]

"This well priced Valpolicella Superiore sees some oak aging for additional heft and concentration. Inky cherry liqueur and toasted almond are followed by a clean, polished close." - Wine Enthusiast

"A more traditional style, with a tarry note running through flavours of spiced cherry, plum and tea leaf, all framed by well-meshed tannins and subtle acidity, resulting in a wine more powerful than the first sip suggests." - Wine Spectator

"Pure, vibrant cherry, cherry cough sweets, dried herbs and long raspberry finish, with sappy fruit tisane tannins." - Decanter

Emily Chardonnay Frizzante Ancestrale IGT (2021) (Bio)

Emily is a sparkling wine produced according to the Méthode Ancestrale (also: Pét Nat) and is prepared from 100% Chardonnay grapes and without the addition of sulfites. The historical production method is making a comeback in recent years and is particularly popular with natural wine producers, as it allows the production of foam without additives. - Gerardo [TS08/22]

Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC 2017 (Bio)

The grapes of this Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso come from vineyards located between Montorio and Valle d'Illasi. The bouquet conveys impressions of ripe berry fruit, cinnamon spice and dried herbs. Wonderfully fleshy on the palate with a pleasant bitter note. First-class Ripasso with excellent price/quality ratio. - Gerardo [TS08/18]

"A complex aromatic triad of fruits, dried flowers and spices is intoned by the equally well-made Ripasso." - Gambero Rosso

Musella's hearty Ripasso offers rustic tones of dark earth, smoked teriyaki, dried herbs and root beer. Fresh flavors of cherry and cassis bring up the rear, adding a touch of brightness to the finish. - Wine Enthusiast

Cosmo Cabernet-Sauvignon Merlot IGT 2011

Sophisticated cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot of ruby color. Reminiscent of black cherries, mint and aromatic herbs in the fragrance. Present acid structure and gripping tannin on the palate, persistent in the aftertaste. The name Cosmo (Ital. 'cosmos') indicates a wine which was built for eternity. - Gerardo [TS08/12]

Amarone della Valpolicella DOC 2014 (Bio)

The basic amarone is also given full attention at Musella: after drying, the grapes lose 35% of their own weight, concentrating fructose, aromas and tannins. The fine aromas, reminiscent of spicy herbs and black berries, create a well-rounded overall impression. Persistent and complex on the palate. - Gerardo [TS08/15]

"Dark bright ruby red with a tendency to garnet. Opens on blood orange, ripe rosehip and fresh wild strawberry, in the reverberation light spicy note, some undergrowth. On the palate with great fruit sweetness, juicy and clear, shows very drinkable and with well integrated alcohol, lively, in the reverberation of rose petal." - Falstaff

Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOC 2015 (Bio)

The Amarone is the leading actor from the house of Musella: rich ruby color, the aromatic arc is stretched between ripe wild berries, pepper and tobacco. Extremely concentrated without being opulent, the aroma of wood reminiscent of cigar box always remains discreetly in the background. - Gerardo [TS08/16]

"Overwhelming the Riserva, next to whose overripe fruit medicinal herbs, tobacco and a pretty mineral note find place; a delicious echo provides the taste, which impresses with solidity and resilience." - Gambero Rosso

'A lovely wine, displaying overall style and elegance, as well as a core of intriguing spice flavors that are wrapped into layers of cherry compote, damson plum preserves, dark chocolate shavings and spicy tobacco notes. There's fine integration here, with an overall vibrancy. The long, spicy finish shows just a hint of tannins." - Wine Spectator
