Umberto
2023 | 100% Merlese
Pure Merlese is soft and elegant, with a grape that combines the very best qualities of Merlot and Sangiovese. This wine was the last project of founder Umberto Cesari. It was first envisioned and then lovingly overseen by him; as a result it carries his name.
Winemaking
In concrete tanks and cocciopesto amphorae at a controlled temperature.
Ageing capacity
A wine with considerable ageing potential.
Tasting notes
Full-bodied yet elegant, thanks to a combination of acidity and smoothness. The tannic structure is assertive, but always pleasurable.
