Wine list | Trento DOC |
The vinification of 100% pure Chardonnay grapes. The origin lies in the area of the Maso Sette Fontane, Valle dell'Adige, in Trentino. For vinification the grapes are harvested manually in small containers in the first decade of September and pressed whole. Only 50% of the must is selected for the Riserva Aquila Reale and rests in the cellar in contact with its lees in small French oak containers. During this period most of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. In late spring the cuvée is made that will rest until summer waiting for the draft. It will then be the days, months and years to perform that evolutionary miracle of scents, aromas and sensations that with a respectful disgorgement and the following 6 months of waiting before being put on the market will be exalted in the glass.
Characteristics of this wine from Cesarini Sforza Winery

The nose expresses a mineral bouquet that blends perfectly with notes of candied fruit and bread crust. The taste leaves a trace of small pastry, embellished with hints slightly citrus, opens to a harmonious taste, long, slightly sapid and extraordinary elegance.
