Metodo Classico TrentoDOC

Cesarini Sforza Le Premier Brut

Trento DOC

Le Premier Brut is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the vocated vineyards of Trentino. The production area, as provided for in the regulations, is that of Trento Doc.

The long resting on the lees in the bottle after the second fermentation gives elegance and amplifies the harmonious organoleptic notes. The complex structure, intense bouquet and lingering finish make Le Premier Brut a fine expression of the Trentino Metodo Classico.
