UMBERTO CESARI For over 60 years Umberto Cesari has been the ambassador of Emilia Romagna in the world. The enhancement of the terroir, the typical varieties and the production of high-quality Sangiovese are the cornerstones of the production philosophy of Umberto Cesari since its beginning in 1964. Sangiovese, Albana, Trebbiano and Pignoletto grapes are mainly grown in the vineyards, but also international varieties and native vines which are used to create blends that enhance the characteristics of the local grapes. Respect for the environment and tradition, combined with the most updated technologies are the pillars of the company, that extends over 355 hectares on the hills of Castel San Pietro Terme (Bologna), at the foot of Tuscan Apennines. The cooperation with the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bologna for the selection of clones, improved farming and thinning techniques, the use of products with low environmental impact and growing techniques that secure the utmost respect for the environment are the pillars of the winery. The passion for quality wine is, today as yesterday, the reason for Umberto Cesari’s growth, development and success. Its known wines includes: Costa di Rose, Tauleto, Liano and Moma, regularly receiving prestigious awards in international competitions and distributed in more than 60 countries around the world. In 2024 received 3 BICCHIERI by Gambero Rosso for our UMBERTO, the only existing wine produced with 100% Merlese grapes.
