Description

A Mature Expression from Emilia-Romagna
The 1975 Sangiovese di Romagna Cesari offers a rare opportunity to explore the aging potential of Sangiovese from outside Tuscany. Cesari, a respected producer, has long focused on highlighting regional character while maintaining a traditional approach. In Emilia-Romagna, Sangiovese typically produces softer, fruit-driven wines compared to the more structured styles of Chianti or Brunello, yet in rare cases like this, it can evolve beautifully over decades.

A Vintage Reflecting Classic Balance
The 1975 vintage in central and northern Italy was moderate and steady, producing wines with balanced acidity and restrained alcohol levels. While most Sangiovese di Romagna wines were intended for early consumption, this carefully cellared bottle demonstrates the variety’s capacity to develop delicate tertiary aromas and an elegant palate with long aging.

Elegant Aromatics and Softened Palate
After nearly fifty years, this Sangiovese di Romagna displays a pale garnet color with orange-brick reflections. The nose reveals delicate, evolved aromas of dried cherry, rose petals, leather, earthy herbs, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied, with softened tannins and bright acidity providing a gentle framework for savory, mature flavors. The finish is graceful and lingering, offering a quietly reflective tasting experience.

Serving and Pairing Recommendations
Older Sangiovese should be handled with care: stand the bottle upright for several days to allow sediment to settle, and decant gently just before serving. Serve slightly below room temperature (around 17 °C) to best appreciate its nuanced aromatics and softened texture. This mature wine pairs beautifully with dishes such as mushroom risotto, herb-roasted pork, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, or slow-cooked lamb, which complement its earthy and savory profile.

A Collector’s Italian Rarity
The 1975 Sangiovese di Romagna Cesari is a rare and fascinating discovery for collectors and enthusiasts eager to explore lesser-seen sides of Italy’s most widely planted grape. It offers a unique glimpse into a bygone era and highlights the subtlety and elegance that mature Sangiovese can achieve beyond its better-known Tuscan expressions. A perfect bottle for an adventurous tasting or a special contemplative evening.
