Cecilia Beretta's wine estate

Cecilia Beretta is a small, family-run wine estate near Verona in the Veneto wine region of northeastern Italy. Founded in the 1980s as a viticultural research center by the prominent local winemaking family Pasqua, Cecilia Beretta is still owned and run by Pasqua, but operates as a completely separate company. It is named after the local nobleman Giuseppe Beretta, who built the estate's magnificent villa in the 17th century. Cecilia Beretta's vineyards are primarily located in favored locations in Soave, Bardolino, and Valpolicella and now comprise approximately 90 hectares of vineyards. The soils are characterized by clay and limestone, the vines have deeply rooted roots, and the wines have an exceptionally fine minerality. Amarone is a noble wine, made from the finest grapes from the hills of Valpolicella, harvested by hand and left to dry in wooden crates for four to five months. This increases the sugar concentration. At the end of February, the grapes are then crushed and fermented for approximately 25 days. After pressing, the wine is transferred to barriques where malolactic fermentation begins. After 18 months, it is aged in bottle for a further six months.

Enjoy the soft and full Amarone della Valpolicella

The Amarone della Valpolicella is a soft, full-bodied wine with abundant extracts and a high alcohol content, imparting a seductive, velvety sweetness. Its intense garnet color reveals aromas of plum, almond, and chocolate, along with subtle notes of vanilla. It's a wine with excellent structure and a harmonious, lingering finish. This red wine pairs perfectly with meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses.
