Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
A very good year. Warm weather, plenty of water and a balanced harvest.
A warm year with good water reserves, balanced ripening and a slightly early harvest.
Spring was cold at first, then warm, with repeated spells of cold air and a lot of rain in the hills. Early summer was cool and unstable; from late July it turned hot, with local storms. Strong storms in early September caused local damage, with landslides and flooding in some vineyards. Harvest began on 10 September, four days ahead of the average, with good sugar, balanced acidity and heavier berries thanks to plenty of water.
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG by Musella
The Amarone from Musella winery is a powerful and structured red wine produced from espalier grown vines in the on the rolling hills of Valpolicella, in the north-east of Verona. The winery, which has been following the biodynamic philosophy for years, is trying to make the most of the territorial potential by seeking purity in taste and also making courageous choices by deciding not to always go along with the fashions dictated by the market. This Amarone is produced with Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta grapes, coming from three different vineyards: the Perlar and the Palazzina, whose soils are calcareous with a prevalence of ferrous red clay and the Monte del Drago which stands out for having a soil more of a medium clayey and tuffaceous mixture.
After the harvest, which takes place towards the end of September to obtain grapes with a higher concentration of sugars, the grape bunches are collected in boxes and arranged to dry in a ventilated room (fruttaio). Thanks to this method the grapes lose more than 35% of water concentrating even more the sugars. The soft pressing of the grapes takes place in February and the winemaking process begins with a low temperature fermentation followed by a long maceration that allows the maximum extraction of the fruit. The wine then matures in French oak tonneaux and large barrels for a period of about 12 months, after which it is bottled and aged in the bottle for a further 8 months before being put on the market.
The Amarone della Valpolicella by Musella has an intense garnet red color. On the nose there are hints of ripe red fruit, black cherry, fig, sweet spices such as cinnamon and chocolate, with subtle notes of green pepper. In the mouth it is rich and enveloping, full-bodied, and with a well-present acidity even if partially masked by the high alcohol content. The finish is long, with pleasant aromas of black cherry and molasses. This label from the Musella winery is an Amarone made as it once was, a synthesis of power, elegance and warmth.

Located within a historic 16th-century estate, Musella Winery combines tradition with modern winemaking in a setting surrounded by meadows and the Fibbio stream. Once a noble stable, the carefully restored cellar now houses barrels where wines mature under ideal conditions, complemented by state-of-the-art winemaking facilities.
Spanning nearly 400 hectares, the estate benefits from diverse soil compositions across three vineyard sites, allowing for a range of expressions in its wines. The estate follows biodynamic principles, a practice rooted in deep respect for the land. Certified by Demeter since 2014 and BDA Farmers since 2020, Musella embraces a holistic approach that avoids synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, instead relying on natural cycles and soil vitality.
The winery welcomes guests for guided tastings, where small groups can explore Musella’s wines alongside regional specialties like Monte Veronese cheese. Visitors can also stay at the Country Relais, where historic charm meets comfortable hospitality.
Musella’s vineyards, Monte del Drago, Perlar, and Palazzina, are rich in biodiversity, with plantings of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Oseleta, and select international varieties. The soils range from clay and tufa to red earth, contributing complexity and depth to each vintage.
Through careful vineyard administration and a philosophy that respects nature’s rhythms, Musella produces wines that reflect both the character of the land and the thoughtful techniques behind each bottle.
