Vinification:

Spumante Ferrari Maximum brut is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, 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:

Intense straw yellow colour. Pleasant and intense on the nose. Notes of ripe stone fruit, some bread crust, hazelnuts and a varied floral bouquet. Elegant and harmonious on the palate. The brut has a remarkable personality with the typical fruity notes of Chardonnay, which are joined by yeast flavours. A pleasant and persistent 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!
