It all began with a dream - passion for wine is a characteristic of the Cesari family: Umberto's father Ilario owned one of the historic osteries in Bologna. Umberto was not content with continuing his father's business. He wanted not only to sell wine, but also to produce top quality wine himself. At the beginning of the 1960s, Umberto Cesari acquired 20 hectares of vineyards in the hills of Castel San Pietro, where he founded the company to which he gave his name and dedicated it to his life's purpose: to make his Sangiovese known and appreciated beyond the borders as a top-quality wine. Umberto Cesari was one of the first to believe in the qualities of the Sangiovese grape and to spread its benefits internationally.
