Umberto Cesari Liano 2020

Luminous red with garnet highlights. Very generous nose with ripe red berry fruit and sour cherry preserves. Smooth, elegant, with appealing tannins; well-balanced, with a lengthy finish. 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.
