Two
centuries ago the Cesarini Sforza family was involved in the
governing of the Duchy of Parma, when a member of the family
was appointed Podestà (mayor) of Trento, and the family
moved to the Bishopric of Trento. At that time the Trentino
economy was dominated by agriculture, and noble families such
as the Cesarini Sforza took great pride in owning top vineyards
from which to produce excellent quality wines.
In
1974, a group of Trentino wine entrepreneurs founded the Azienda
Spumantistica Cesarini Sforza, with the aim of producing quality
spumantes which would impress not only the people of Trentino,
but consumers all over Italy as well.
Over the past few years, Cesarini Sforza has come to represent
a significant share of the domestic and indeed international
market for spumante wines.
