Description
The highest-quality grapes have been grown in Maso Sette Fontane since 1734. Here Chardonnay enjoys the Brenta Dolomites and obtains unique characteristics, with a balance and personality that few vineyards can achieve: structure and elegance, strength and finesse. These characteristics can fully exalt themselves through the application of the classic method: a long and patient process where details and nuances take on great importance. The combination of the cultivation site, the variety's vocation and the experience and expertise of the winemakers - 3 generations of the same family - make the result quite unique. Aquila Reale comes from this terroir, the Cru of Cesarini Sforza.

Reviving this ancient legacy, in 1974 Lamberto Cesarini Sforza, together with a small group of entrepreneurs, founded the eponymous winerywith the aim of producing high quality sparkling wines that would be able to impose themselves not only among Trentino producers, but also on the national and international scene.
Today, just like in the origins, Cesarini Sforza holds firm to the three pillars on which the best winemaking culture is founded: tradition, innovation and the pursuit of excellence. Cesarini Sforza, under the aegis of Aquila Reale, makes itself the interpreter of the noblest mountain bubbles, refined and versatile sparkling wines capable of proudly telling all the strength of a unique territory, extraordinarily suited to viticulture.
