Descrizione

The Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC in magnum format, gift-boxed by Cecilia Beretta, presents itself as an intense red wine with solid character. In color it shows a deep ruby; on the nose it opens with fruity notes of cherry and small red fruits, accompanied by discreet spicy hints and slightly soft nuances. The Ripasso designation refers to a method of refinement that contributes to complexity without specifying durations or individual steps.

On the palate it offers a balanced structure with present but well-integrated tannins and a velvety texture that leaves a pleasant persistence. It is recommended to serve it at around 16–18 °C, possibly after brief decanting to better reveal the aromatic profile. The magnum format suits convivial occasions and slows oxidation compared with standard bottles; the box also makes it appealing as a gift. It pairs with roasted meats, braised game or aged cheeses, and also responds well to hearty everyday dishes.

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.
