In the contest of the LHC experiment, the upgrade of the SPS (Super-SPS) would allow proton injection with energy twice the one of the current system and would ground on a firm basis the luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider. Beyond LHC physics, this machine also offers an unprecedented opportunity for the experimental determination of the leptonic mixing matrix. In this talk we show that a Beta Beam based on the Super-SPS and on a 40 kton iron detector at Gran Sasso Laboratory can address CP violation in the leptonic sector for any value of the θ13 angle that would provide evidence of νe appearance at T2K or NOνA. Exploitation of matter effects at the CERN to Gran Sasso distance provides sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy in significant areas of the θ13−δ plane.
