Terroir: The Musella winery's vineyards are located in the Valpolicella area, characterized by limestone and tuffaceous soils. The climatic conditions of the area, with hot summers and mild winters, are ideal for the drying of the grapes, a traditional practice for the production of Recioto.

Vinification: The grapes are harvested manually and left to dry for about 3-4 months, reducing the water content and concentrating sugars and aromas. Fermentation is then interrupted to maintain residual sugar, which gives the wine its characteristic sweetness. Subsequently, the wine ages in oak barrels for a few months to round out the tannins and enrich the aromatic bouquet.
