Terra Musa di Moreno Musaragno & C.S.S.

We often encounter stories like Musaragno’s, particularly in Italy. Dino Musaragno was a successful building contractor, but deep down his heart belonged to agriculture and especially wine. In 1972, he fulfilled his dream by buying an estate of around 20 ha in Lison Pramaggiore, north of Venice. Mr Musaragno did not depend on profits from the estate, so earnings could be reinvested for the benefit of the business and vineyards. Over time, this created an attractive estate with beautifully tended vineyards and a modern cellar offering everything needed to make good wines.

The next generation, Paola and Moreno Musaragno, has since taken over. They also initiated conversion to organic cultivation, and Musaragno has been ICEA-certified since 1999. A diverse mix of grape varieties allows an equally broad wine range: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Refosco, Merlot, Malbec, Ancellotta, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Verduzzo. Umberto Mennini oversees cellar work. We were immediately delighted by the wines: radiant and wonderfully clear, with every grape variety expressed with absolute purity. Uncomplicated does not mean undemanding here, quite the opposite! Their delightful playfulness and lightness lift the spirits.
