Description
What kind of wine is it
Cesarini Sforza 1673 Trento Brut is a sparkling wine that showcases the precision of the Traditional Method. The result of a meticulous blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it stands out for its fine and creamy perlage. The bouquet reveals aromas of Golden apple and white peach, followed by hints of ripe fruit and delicate notes of bread crust. On the palate, it is complex and structured, supported by a pleasant acidity that makes the sip persistent. It is an ideal pairing for starters, cheese selections and dishes based on lean fish.
Where does it come from
This sparkling wine originates in Trentino-Alto Adige, in the Val di Cembra, within the Trento denomination. The vineyards are located between 500 and 600 metres above sea level; the south and south-east exposure favours regular ripening, preserving the natural acidity of the grapes. The vines take root in a loamy-sandy and loose soil, rich in porphyry, a geological element that imparts great precision of flavour and remarkable longevity. Cultivation follows the simple Trentino pergola and Guyot systems.
How is it produced
Production begins with the manual harvesting of the grapes, followed by a gentle pressing. After static decantation, the must ferments at a controlled temperature in steel and matures on the fine lees for over seven months to define the structure of the blend. With the tirage, refermentation in the bottle begins, as required by the Traditional Method. The sparkling wine matures for 36 months on the lees, developing perfect harmony before disgorgement, and is completed with a Brut dosage that respects its original balance.
History and Curiosities
Born in the heart of the Val di Cembra, the prestigious Cesarini Sforza 1673 Trento Brut Millesimato 2021 celebrates the excellence of a winery founded in 1974. The fine grapes, hand-picked from porphyry-rich soils, are expertly crafted by oenologist Andrea Buccella following the Traditional Method. The patient ageing of 36 months on the lees gives this sparkling wine a fine and creamy perlage and a structured elegance, sealing a local success confirmed by prestigious awards such as the Cinque Grappoli from Bibenda.
