2020 Musella Amarone della Valpolicella

VIN93 The 2020 Amarone della Valpolicella opens with a collage of baking spices, dried rosemary and balsamic-inflected black cherries. It is surprisingly energetic, with a cascade of tart red berry fruit offset by a tinge of sour citrus and cedary spice, all energized by zesty acidity. Long and lively, the 2020 leaves behind a subtle coating of fine tannins as nuances of tart raspberry fade.

Estate Notes: A rich and complex wine aged in medium and large barrels. An aromatic range of black cherries, ripe red fruit and sweet spices integrates with balance in an elegant and structured sip. Made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, this wine is rich and complex with intense flavors of dried fruit, cherry, and spice. The grapes are dried for several months before fermentation, resulting in a concentrated and full-bodied wine with a high alcohol content. Musella Amarone is aged in oak barrels for at least two years, adding depth and complexity to the wine. This wine is best enjoyed with hearty dishes such as grilled meats, risotto, or aged cheeses.
