Cesarini Sforza Le Premier
Trento DOC
Made with Chardonnay grapes grown in Trentino vineyards perfectly suited to the variety, in that geographically delimited area known as Trento DOC. When applied to this precious base, the Classic Method brings out a harmonious and elegant sparkling wine. Premier Brut is left to age for at least 24 months in dark, quiet cellars until it acquires that definitive aroma and flavour it is best known for.
