Umberto Cesari
Italy
The Umberto Cesari winery sits in the picturesque hillsides of Emilia-Romagna, near the ancient Roman Via that connects Mediolanum (Milan) and Riminum (Rimini). The winery was founded in 1965 with the purchase of twenty hectares of prime vineyards. The Cesari family now owns 470 acres including the presitigious vineyards of Parolina, La Casetta, Laurento, Ca’Grande, and Macolina. All of the wines are Estate Grown and bottled at the state-of-the-art winery. Special attention is given to clonal selection, trellising techniques and vineyard management. The Cesari family utilizes such modern techniques as soft pressing, temperature controlled fermentation, and cold bottling under a nitrogen blanket. It is no wonder that Umberto Cesari is considered to be one the finest producers in the Emilian-Romagna region. With many responsibilities being passed onto Umberto’s children, Gianmaria and Ilaria, the tradition of excellence will undoubtably continue.
