Winemaker Notes
The company was founded in 1964 by Umberto Cesari, one of the first winemakers in Emilia Romagna to believe in the potential of the Sangiovese and local grapes.
Driven by his vision he worked to enhance the potential he saw in this land and in the native varieties and so successfully imparted a productive philosophy that he has been crowned the Master of Sangiovese.
The winery is located on the hills of Castel San Pietro Terme, in the heart of Emilia Romagna, an area particularly prized for high quality viticulture and extend over 877 acres vineyards at 250-400 meters above sea level.
Full respect for its environment and local traditions, combined with the use of the most advanced winemaking technologies are the fundamental values of Umberto Cesari and the passion for high quality wine, today as then, represents the basis of its growth, development and success.
Umberto Cesari wines with their harmony and overall elegance represent the best expression of Sangiovese in Emilia Romagna.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
Extending from the Adriatic coast in the east, to the border of the Mediterranean Ligurian region in the west, Emilia Romagna is a large, central Italian region focused on a wide array of gastronomic specialties. The plains of Emilia host four well-defined subzones for its famous, lightly sparkling red, Lambrusco. The more coastal Romagna has the capacity to produce impressive wines from Sangiovese and Albana.
