The rich international palmarès celebrates the vision of Easter Vini, today a point of reference for wine innovation
There are intuitions that, at the time of its debut, seem visionary, almost risky, and which over time prove to be authentic turning points. This is the case of the Icons, the collection of wines signed Easter wines that turns ten and which has redefined the interpretative codes of Veronese wine, transforming unconventional into a new classic. Born as the most innovative, ambitious and disruptive expression of the cellar, the labels of the collection – to never say to Hey French, from 11 Minutes to Cecilia Beretta, up to Easter family – have gradually conquered international criticism and the main sector guides, imposing themselves for solidity, originality and vision.
A medal that speaks clearly
The latest recognition comes from the Vini d’Italia 2026 Guide of Gambero Scarlatto, which assigns the three glasses to Amarone della Valpolicella Terre per mezzo di Cariano 2018 Cecilia Beretta. A milestone that adds to a very rich palmarès, durante which the five vintages rewarded with the three glasses to never say never, the Amarone who since his debut has amazed by austerity and verticality, without ever betraying the territorial identity. Next to it, the successes of Hey French, the first multi-multi-year-old Italian blend of Fermi wines are distinguished, awarded by global guides; The Rosé 11 Minutes, which contributed to redefining the language of the Venetian rosés; And of course the interpretations of the Easter family, linked to the memory of the first generation and capable of establishing themselves among the best Amarone of Valpolicella.
