A monumental complex positioned in the middle of a green valley and surrounded by wooded slopes and marvellous vineyards. This architectural structure, built in the first half of the 18th century, was composed both of the villa with a small consecrated chapel and a large park, and the wine cellar that runs still today perfectly.
The estate extends over 225 hectares (556 acres). It was bought by Bertani’s winery (founded in 1857) in the early fifties of the 20th century to give birth to the ambitious project that led up to the production of Amarone Classico, Bertani’s world known wine, which has been produced in this area since 1958. The cellar is built entirely of masonry with brick vaults and the floor is made of slabs of local marble.
In the barrels rooms there are more than 3.000 hl (66.000 gallons) of Amarone. The capacity of the barrels varies from a minimum of 8 (176 gallons) to a maximum of 150 hl (3.300 gallons).
Casks inside the historical barrels rooms, built during the second half of 19th century, are even larger, around 200hl (4.400 gallons). They were completely manufactured in this room by Austrian coopers, during the time of Trezza di Musella’s ownership.
In the ancient granaries, over the cellar, there are the lofts where the grapes selected for the Amarone wine are dried lying on the racks, named aréle.
