Descrizione

Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG by Cecilia Beretta in magnum format, presented in a wooden case that aids storage and presentation. In the glass it offers a rich, concentrated profile with aromas of ripe red and dark fruit, notes of sweet spices and hints of cocoa and tobacco, forming a complex yet restrained aromatic ensemble. On the palate it shows significant body, well-integrated tannins and a solid structure that supports a long-lasting flavor persistence, maintaining a balance between the fruity component, acidity and soft sensations.

Suitable to pair with robust red meat dishes, roasts, braises and aged cheeses; it can stand up to intense sauces and traditional winter recipes. It is recommended to serve at a moderate drinking temperature and, if desired, to decant before serving to encourage the opening of the aromas. The wooden case makes the bottle a good gift option and eases transport; store in a cool, dark place at a constant temperature.

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.
