Descrizione

Ripasso della Valpolicella Superiore DOC Cecilia Beretta is born in the heart of Valpolicella, an area renowned for its volcanic soils and ideal climate that give the wine elegance and structure. This wine is mainly made from Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, which undergo the ripasso method, a second fermentation on the Amarone skins. This process intensifies the color, aroma, and body, producing a complex wine with a rich profile.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby red, accompanied by hints of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and notes of cherry preserved in spirit. On the palate, it features a soft and enveloping tannic texture and a persistent finish, with slightly spicy and licorice hints. Perfect to accompany red meat dishes, braised dishes, or aged cheeses, Ripasso della Valpolicella Superiore DOC Cecilia Beretta expresses a refined balance between tradition and contemporary vigor.

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.
