WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Musella Valpolicella Drago is produced using grapes from the Valpolicella region of Veneto. Musella Winery employs biodynamic farming practices in its vineyards, which are situated across three hills. The winemaking process likely involves fermentation-maceration on the skins, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for a period of time, contributing to its structure and complexity.
