Named after the Cesari family matriarch, Mara is vinified using the Valpolicella’s exclusive Ripasso technique. Fresh wine was refermented on the Amarone pomace to create a smooth, elegant wine with an aromatic bouquet of ripe cherries. Mara Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso boasts a persistent, warm finish with round tannins after aging in large Slavonian oak barrels for 12 months.

Founded in 1936, Gerardo Cesari soon became synonymous worldwide with wines from the Verona area. Back in the early seventies, Cesari Amarone was one of the first to reach all five continents thanks to the enthusiasm of Franco Cesari, son of the founder, whose original vision was to produce a great Amarone, capable of competing with the best Italian and international red wines. Today, Gerardo Cesari sets itself further targets: to respond to the market by producing unique, elegant, fine, balanced wines, drawing on tradition but using the latest knowledge in vineyard cultivation, using environmentally sustainable growing techniques and offering consumers the guarantees of a certified wine- making process.
