Descrizione

The Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG - Cecilia Beretta embodies the elegance and intensity of one of the most evocative regions of Veneto. Produced from Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, carefully harvested in the hills of Valpolicella, this wine is expertly aged for several months in wooden barrels, which enrich its aromatic complexity.

With an intense ruby red color, it stands out for a bouquet rich with aromas of ripe cherry, plum, spices, and a delicate hint of tobacco. On the palate, it is enveloping, with soft tannins and a long persistence that leaves a pleasant memory of dried fruit and cocoa. Its structure calls for pairings with robust dishes such as braised meats, game, and aged cheeses.

A wine that faithfully represents the winemaking tradition of Valpolicella, capable of delivering profound emotions with every sip.

Winery history

Originally conceived as a project of the Famiglia Pasqua in the early 1980s, Cecilia Beretta takes its name from the historic Villa Beretta in Mizzole. The label was created to showcase the traditional expressions of Valpolicella and Soave through targeted technical interventions and the input of oenologists such as Carlo Olivari and, in more recent years, Graziana Grassini.

Production philosophy

An approach that combines respect for the land with stylistic exploration: the revival of indigenous grape varieties, the enhancement of the local terroir, and the selective use of traditional techniques such as appassimento, alongside sustainability initiatives and the conversion of vineyards to organic farming.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located in the hilly amphitheatre of Valpolicella and in the hills of Soave. Soils are predominantly calcareous-clayey, with volcanic portions in the Soave area; average elevation 150–200 m.

Awards and recognitions

Among the accolades: Tre Bicchieri awarded to Amarone Terre di Cariano 2018 Cecilia Beretta; the label also appears in various mentions and scores from guides and critics.
