Musella Monte del Drago Rosso
Musella has its cellar and offices in a rural court of 1500 surrounded by green meadows bathed by the Fibbio stream, which was formerly used as a stable of the noble palace of the Estate. Today, in keeping with tradition and after a careful conservation restoration, it has been transformed into the cellar equipped with all the latest technologies. Each wine comes exclusively from this Estate that covers almost 400 hectares and that also offers a considerable differentiation in the composition of the soil, quality that allows us exciting comparisons.
1997 marks the inaugural vintage for Musella’s Monte del Drago; a beautiful bottling comprising equal parts Corvina and Cabernet Sauvignon. Situated in the northeast of Verona, on the hill that divides Montorio and the Valle d’Illasi; the vineyards are planted to calcareous soil with red clay and tufo.
