Vinification:

100% Trentino Chardonnay grapes are vinified for this excellent sparkling wine. The base wine is matured for at least 5 years in the bottle using the "metodo classico", the traditional method of bottle fermentation on the lees.

Tasting note:

Brilliant golden yellow, very consistent perlage. Extremely clean on the nose. Complex flavour, aromas of apple, mango and ripe pineapple. Also roasted and ground coffee, a touch of vanilla and subtle honey notes. Harmonious and balanced on the palate. Persistent and delicate on the finish.

Ferrari Trento:

Ferrari - the fine wines are among the best that Italy has to offer when it comes to spumanti. At Ferrari, quality is a top priority. Giulio Ferrari already focussed on this when, in 1902, he fermented the first Chardonnay grapes into a Spumante in the Champagne style, i.e. with a second fermentation in the bottle. With his ambitious project, the then 23-year-old laid the foundations for the company that today exports its Trentodoc sparkling wines all over the world.

In the 1950s, Ferrari handed over the business to Bruno Lunelli, a young wine merchant from Trento, due to a lack of offspring. The third Lunelli generation has now taken the helm. Under their leadership, Ferrari has won award after award for its sparkling wines and even won the title of Sparkling Wine Producer of the Year at the Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships in 2019 - for the third time after 2015 and 2017!
