Musella Valpolicella Superiore ‘21

This sophisticated Valpolicella Superiore displays a deep ruby-garnet hue. The nose is complex and evolving, offering layers of ripe cherry, dark chocolate, and subtle notes of tobacco and dried flowers. The palate is medium-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins supporting flavors of blackberry, plum, and a distinctive mineral undertone. Made from indigenous Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes grown in limestone-rich soils, the wine undergoes extended maceration and ages 18 months in French oak barrels. Earning 91 points for its depth and typicity, this wine would benefit from decanting and pairs wonderfully with braised meats or aged cheeses. The long, spice-tinged finish lingers with notes of licorice and dried fruit, showcasing its excellent balance between power and elegance.
