Philosophy
Wine is at the heart of this story
Cecilia Beretta, first and foremost: our muse was a well-read and refined woman who crossed the 18th century surrounding herself with artists, intellectuals and musicians from all over Europe, a female figure akin to Madame De Staël in Paris or Caroline Pichler in Vienna. She had a strong and yet elegant personality, just like the wine label established by the Pasqua family.
The company, owned by Umberto, Riccardo and Alessandro Pasqua has entrusted a member of the family, Cecilia, to be the business development manager. Already part of the international sales team, she has achieved a WSET Level 4 diploma in wine and spirits.
Past meets present: a muse, and an oenologist
A stylistic reinterpretation of some of the iconic Cecilia Beretta references has now been undertaken under the supervision of a unique figure on the Italian wine scene: Graziana Grassini, among the first female winemakers in Italy, and successor of the great Giacomo Tachis. She herself has collaborated to the relaunch of the Mizzole Valpolicella Superiore DOC.
The vineyards are located in the splendid amphitheatre of the Valpolicella hills and valleys and extend as far as the volcanic lands of the Soave hills, noble territories dedicated to wine since Roman times. Here the soils are calcareous-clayey, and the plants grow at an average altitude of 150-200 metres.
The backdrop to this story are the winery's vineyards
Cecilia Beretta, testifying to its roots in its homeland and its drive for innovation, is committed to adopting environmentally friendly business strategies compatible with the needs of the environment, including reducing energy consumption to a minimum to structures that naturally regulate the temperature and the minimisation of packaging waste (glass and paper) as well as maintaining all the main ISO - BRC - IFS - Organic quality certifications. Lastly, the company has achieved the compliance with the SOPD Standard 'Sustainable Organisation Module - OS' by Equalitas.
