The 2005 Trento Metodo Classico Extra Brut Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore marks a slightly drier and crisper interpretation of this landmark wine. It shows sharp contours and linear mineral definition that follow to more opulent layers of stone fruit, honey and fragrant rose. The mouthfeel is creamy and rich with yeasty notes of baked bread and toasted caramel. Unlike past vintages that finish with a touch of apricot sweetness, this vintage ends on a dusty mineral note that lingers long on the palate.<br/>
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.
