The newest member of the Ferrari family is the exciting 2006 Trento Metodo Classico Extra Brut Rosé Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore. This wine does indeed make a grand entrance. The fruit is so supple and ripe and the beading is extra fine and silky as it glides over the palate. The color is dark pink and raspberry with polished copper highlights. It finishes with subtle mineral notes of crushed rock and granite that are an undeniable signature of winemaking in Italy's Dolomites. This mid-weight sparkling wine ages on the lees for 11 years, and aromas of baked baguette and brioche linger long. Dare I say it? This single bottle brings Italy very close to some of the top Champagne houses that have earned our attention and praise. This wine, this new sparkling rosé, is a game changer for Italian Metodo Classico. Congratulations.
Producer
Ferrari F.lli Lunelli
Founded over a century ago by Giulio Ferrari in 1902, the Ferrari company is now one of Trento’s leading sparkling wine producers. A close friend, Bruno Lunelli took over the business in 1952. Today, third generation of the Lunelli family, Marcello, Matteo, Camilla and Alessandro, are at the helm. Based along the mountainside vineyards, amongst the finest terroirs in Trentino, the company owns the largest plot of Chardonnay vineyards in Italy. Ferrari produces sparkling wines under the Trento DOC, which was the first classification in the country for Metodo Classico wines. The family continues to promote “the Italian art of living” with their first-class productions year after year, earning the most awards than any other sparkling wine producer in the country.
