Brut Perlé 2012 75cl

A pure expression of Chardonnay, the 2012 Trento Metodo Classico Perlé Brut has aged on its yeasts in bottle for five years. You really can't get better value for a classic-method sparkling wine than this. The wine opens to soft and fine beading with rich flavors of lemon mousse, baked peach and cream-filled brioche. You taste the natural richness of the Chardonnay grape at the heart of this wine. Some 450,000 bottles were made.<br/>The Lunelli family at Ferrari is celebrating an exciting new member of its vinous family. A new wine, 2006 Trento Metodo Classico Extra Brut Rosé Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore, now completes its portfolio of high-end sparkling wine. Rosé sparkling wine accounts for a small amount of the total production at Ferrari (only 11%), but a wine like this speaks to a growing opportunity for Ferrari and for Italian Metodo Classico wine in general. I was blown away by this beautiful new product. (December 2018)

A soft and creamy sparkling wine with cooked apples and pears. Hint of lemon rind. Some pie crust. Medium body. Fruity finish. Delicious, as always. (November 25, 2018)
