1985 Sangiovese di Romagna – Cesari (Emilia-Romagna, Italy)
A graceful, fully mature Romagna Sangiovese showing perfume and savoury finesse. Brick-garnet with a tawny rim, the bouquet lifts with dried cherry and amarena, rose petal, cedar and sweet tobacco, touched by orange peel, tea leaf and a gentle balsamic note. Mid-weight and silken on the palate: lively, old-school acidity carries red-cherry fruit, dried herbs and subtle leather; tannins are fine and resolved. The finish is long and tapering with cherry skin, cedar spice and dried flowers.
Producer note: Often bottled by Umberto Cesari, a benchmark estate in Emilia-Romagna known for classically styled Sangiovese from hillside vineyards—emphasising aromatic lift and elegance over heft.
Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast chicken with herbs, lasagne alla bolognese, porcini risotto, aged pecorino.
