Aroma Notes-

During a 2005 trip to Bologna, writer John Grisham was so taken with Liano that he mentioned it in his book, The Broker, calling it a fantastic wine.

Appearance: Intense ruby red with garnet highlights.
Bouquet: Generous and full, redolent of ripe berryfruit and sour black cherry preserves.
Palate: Intense, smooth, and elegant, with appetising tannins and fine balance. It opens to crisp sour cherry, and concludes on a whiff of blackpepper on a lengthy, well-proportioned finish.

Wine Making

This blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in vineyards averaging 15 years of age and yielding 75 quintals per hectare, is a wine of superb complexity and character. It ferments in specialised temperature-controlled tanks, with a lengthy maceration on the skins, followed by 18 months in 550-litre Allier oak casks and a further 6 months bottle-ageing.

Umberto Cesari

Umberto Cesari Winery, founded in 1964, lies in the hills of Castel San Pietro Terme, in western Romagna. Our winemaking has always focused on our local native grapes, but over time we have added international varieties as well. Day by day, we have watched our vineyards grow, as has our awareness that our local growing area is our most important natural resource. That is the reason that we follow a philosophy that respects the earth but at the same time welcomes new challenges represented by sustainability and innovation. Because we know that the grape of tomorrow must be even better than that of today.
