Musella "SENZA TITOLO" Amarone Della Valpolicella

Musella "SENZA TITOLO" Amarone Della Valpolicella

Vintage: 2011
Description: Biodynamically Farmed. "natural" Wine. Bottled unfined & unfiltered. A cloudy appearance is natural. If desired, let the bottle rest upright without vibration for a day and decant gently to remove the heaviest solids. The wines combine velvety ripeness with finesse and tension. Here, captivating aromatics of coffee, leather, liquorice, rosemary and buttered brazil nuts scent the bouquet and palate, which is satin-textured with an airy intensity before it focuses to a fresh and savoury, saline precision. This is a unique Amarone experience. It carries the Musella style of fruit purity, but expressed with all the broken-down skins forming a cloudy red that's texturally satin and velvet. The weight of the fruit is great enough to match and hide the naturally high alcohol; the character of the vibrant acidity enough to match the gently off-dry sweetness. Warm, vibrant spiced cherry cordial drives the flavor profile, and tobacco and resinous woodsy notes, amongst others, add complexity in a seamless, well-integrated wine experience. "This wine born from the idea of producing the Amarone in as most natural and traditional way as possible, starting first from an obsessive grapes selection. The second selection is done at the moment of pressing, after 100 days from the harvest, when four or five people discard the single grape if not perfectly healthy. The soft pressing done by feet, leave the dry stems in to have some tannins more and the fermentation is with indigenous yeasts at not controlled temperature in a oak conical fermenting vat. We do daily “follature” by hand until the natural slow down of the natural fermentation in few months. This wine rests at least 3 years in a not toasted barrel of 700 lt. (i bought a craft barrel done with oak bended by steam to avoid the interference of toasting). It is not filtred, not clarified, we only wash the barrel twice in 3 years." - Winemaker Notes
