Spumante Ferrari Brut Metodo Classico DOC
Good correspondence between the alate and the nose; an effervescent and crisp 'attack'; however, balanced, full-bodied with flavors of pear and lemon. This sparkling wine is produced following the classic method and matures on yeast for 24 months.
Ferrari's classic method sparkling wines are produced and aged now in a new cellar: an area of thirty thousand square meters, where more than fifteen million of bottles of different vintages are left to age. Every year they are released to the market; about four million and five hundred thousand bottles are consumed per year.
The spirit and the soul of Ferrari sparkling wine have been always respected, following the principle of “from vineyards to the table”.
All Ferrari classic sparkling wines are exclusively produced with grapes cultivated in Trentino, coming from family vineyards as well as from historical vintner friends.
The production of Ferrari cellar is made by 8 enologists, led by Mauro Lunelli, who has improved the fundamentals and principles of wine making art, which has made Spumante Ferrari a renowned and highly appreciated wine maker.
The Lunelli family, rich in sparkling wine production experience, in 1980's decided to expand its production with dry still wines, obtained with grapes coming from family owned vineyards and cultivated in the hills of Trento.
Today Lunelli Winery produces both white and red wines, bodied and structured, well expressing the typicality and enological vocation of Trentino. Convinced that a great wine is obtained from high quality grapes, Lunelli winery looks for Masi and Ville that can worthily represent the enological soul of the territory. Following this idea, the white wines such as Villa Margon and Villa Gentilotti were born, as well as Chardonnay and Villa San Nicolò were produced with Sauvignon Blanc grape.
In 1990's, after some years of experimentation, two red wines, both belonging to Trentino DOC, were produced - Maso Le Viane, made with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, and Maso Montalto, produced with Pinot Noir. These wines, with remarkable possibility of aging in bottle, are being aged in wood containers in order to keep the personality of the grapes used for production.
