A delicious summer white from Cecilia Beretta, a family owned post-war winery that began to step up its wine making in the early 1980's. The name originates from the splendid Beretta Villa, built in the seventh century by the count Giuseppe Beretta, former mayor of the city of Verona, agronomist and rural poet(?). The Pasqua family produce about 200,000 bottle of wine a year on 220 acres of vineyards (134 acres are owned by the Pasqua family, and 86 acres that belong to growers under cooperative contracts) that are located in the Valpolicella area surrounding Soave. The 2010 Soave Classico is 85% Garganega and 15% Chardonnay. Fermented and aged in stainless. Sparkling, straw yellow in color with just a tinge of green. Floral nose of apple and apricot.
