Exploring Umberto Cesari

# Exploring Umberto Cesari: A Masterclass in Emilia-Romagna

Discover the soul of Italian winemaking right here in Franklin. The Franklin Wine Club invites you to an exclusive, sit-down educational seminar diving into the prestigious estate of Umberto Cesari.
Nestled in the rolling hills of Castel San Pietro Terme, Umberto Cesari has spent over 60 years perfecting the expression of Emilia-Romagna’s unique terroir. They were pioneers in transforming Sangiovese from a simple table wine into a globally recognized masterpiece. Guided by our guest host, Roger Warner, we will explore how their sun-drenched vineyards, clay soils, and precision blending create wines of incredible structure, elegance, and character.

### Why the Franklin Wine Club is Different

Since 2014, the Franklin Wine Club has set itself apart from typical casual wine mixers. We don't just pour wine—we explore it. This is a fully seated, structured educational event designed for those who want to look beyond the label.
