The name of Umberto Cesari is closely linked to the history of quality viticulture of the region and in particular to Sangiovese di Romagna, which has managed to export all over the world.

The story began in the 60s with the acquisition of the first 20 hectares of vineyards in Podere Casetta. Today the farms are six and the 175 hectares of vineyards are located on the hills of Castel San Pietro Terme protected by the evocative Calanchi Azzurri.

To lead the big company there is the son Gianmaria who, with the same love and passion of his father, in the company completely renovated with 18000 square meters of cellar, in collaboration with a group of professional agronomists and winemakers and making use of the studies and experiments carried out with the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Bologna, the realization of that project of territorial enhancement is increasingly appreciated even in the international sphere.
