Umberto Cesari COLLE del RE Albana di Romagna DOCG

Made from 85% Sangiovese and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is dry, lightly tannic and with a delicate bouquet reminiscent of violets.

A dry harmonious wine with an intense and floral bouquet. A wine best drunk young.

For Umberto Cesari, stubborn by nature, producing good wine is a family tradition with deep roots in this area of Romagna. It is here that Umberto and his wife Giuliana chose to start their Company in 1965 by buying 20 Hectares of land in the hills between 200 and 380 Metres above sea level which extend from the Via Emilia towards the Apennine Mountains and the border of Tuscany. From then on, he has continually expanded and increased the quality of his wines and today the Company extends over an area of 100 hectares. Here it is divided into distinct vineyards of La Casetta, Parolino, Ca Grande and Laurento. The Sangiovese grapes behind this red wine come from areas especially suited for the production of this great red wine. The vineyards are located around the hills surrounding Castel San Pietro and Imola and great care is taken from the vine to the winery. Only the best clusters are made into wine, and fermentation takes place in conditioned tanks with temperature control. This is followed by 24 months' ageing, partly in Slavonia and Allier oak. This Sangiovese di Romagna Riserva has an intense ruby red colour with a touch of pomegranate, while the aroma is vinous, intense, with a touch of violet. The flavour is full, rich and dry, showing good tannic structure with a pleasing finish. Available in Magnum bottles. (12 x 75 cl)
