Vinification:

The Maximum rosé brut is made from 70% Pinot noir and 30% Chardonnay, which are harvested in the first half of September. The vineyards are located in various municipalities in the Adige, Cembra and Laghi valleys at altitudes between 300 and 700 metres above sea level. After the second fermentation, the brut is aged on the lees for 36 months.

Tasting note:

Delicate old rose colour. Persistent perlage. Delicate aroma of raspberries and ripe peach on the nose, some yeast. Remarkably complex. Great elegance on the palate. The flavours of the nose are repeated. With almost balsamic notes. The finish is remarkably long and characterised by delicate hints of yeast.

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!
