IWSC 2020: And the winner is… Resultum 2012, the 100% Sangiovese wine by Umberto Cesari: Congratulazioni! Created from the experience of over 50 Sangiovese harvests, Resultum is proof that past and present can co-exist. And the wine’s gold medal prize confirms it.
The annual International Wine & Spirit Competition is a prestigious international event in London that rewards the best wines, liqueurs, and spirits through a rigorous judging process. In fact, all the bottles are judged anonymously until scores are revealed at the end. This strict “blind test” method allows for the experts’ judgment to be based on careful and professional tasting, without any influence from the labels. And let’s just say Umberto Cesari’s Sangiovese wine definitely won the jury over!
This incredible Italian wine has a special story, starting from its name: Resultum. Derived from the Latin word ‘resilire’ (meaning ‘adaptation to change’), Resultum represents an homage to the vineyard’s skilled capacity to respond to drastic weather changes in a positive way, “resulting” in a delightful wine that is powerful, harmonious, structured and aromatic. A strong and well-blended 100% Sangiovese, Resultum is ruby red in color with streaks of purple and a full, smooth taste on the palate featuring notes of violet, rose, iris, and peony.
With solid approval at the Wine & Spirit Competition, the judges seem to agree: "An extraordinary wine that shows elegance and finesse. A refined bouquet of ripe red cherries and berries with tasty olives, pepper, oregano, bay leaf, and spices. With its fine-grained tannins and defined structure, this wine boasts charm and character," stated Mick O'Connell MW, David Kermode, Victoria Sharples and Nicolas Clerc MS.
Heading home with Resultum’s exceptional score of 96/100 and the coveted gold medal from IWSC, Umberto Cesari Winery confirms his long-time experience and hard work as a Sangiovese ambassador to the world… Cin cin!
