Winery Umberto Cesari

The winery was founded in the 1960s when founder Umberto Cesari purchased his first vineyards on the hills of Castel San Pietro Terme. From that initial core the company expanded, developing multiple estates and a modern cellar, promoting Sangiovese and the region's native grape varieties both nationally and internationally.

It combines respect for local tradition and native grape varieties with the adoption of precision technologies in the vineyard and the winery. Its stated aim is to enhance the terroir through selection of vineyard parcels, experimentation and attention to quality.

The properties and vineyards are located on the hills between Imola and Castel San Pietro Terme. The company manages numerous cru and plots with different exposures — some of the named vineyards include Ca' Grande, Casetta, Claterna, Laurento, Liano, Tauleto, Miravalle and others — where Sangiovese, Albana and international varieties are grown depending on the site.

The winery has received numerous national and international recognitions, including official mentions on its website for awards and ratings.
