2016 Ferrari Perlé Rosé Trentino-Alto Adige

Ferrari has been producing sparkling wine in Trento for over 100 years. Giulio Ferrari's original dream for this company was for the wine to compete with the greats of Champagne. Giulio was the first person to bring substantial plantings of Chardonnay into Italy, which he deemed necessary to produce world-class wines. The Riserva Lunelli takes its name from the Family that inherited the estate from Giulio and runs the operation today. This Rosé sparkler is a chiseled, energetic wine that would impress even the most staunch Champagne drinkers. 

A beguiling synthesis of tradition and innovation, it is the only wine from Ferrari whose first fermentation takes place in large Austrian oak casks, as in the days of Bruno Lunelli. This origin in wood gives it a greater body, an intriguing richness on the palate, and a harmonious roundness of flavor. After at least 7 years’ maturation in the bottle, the Ferrari Riserva Lunelli displays a complex bouquet and a broad structure, making it extraordinarily versatile when matched with food and ideal for drinking throughout a meal.

Ferrari Trento has once again proven its excellence in sparkling wine, clinching the title of 'Sparkling Wine Producer of the Year' for the sixth time at the Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships. This prestigious award, marking the tenth anniversary of the competition, highlights Ferrari Trento’s remarkable achievement of winning 9 gold and 3 silver medals in 2023. Their consistent success underscores the exceptional quality of wines produced in the Trentino mountains, a legacy dating back over 120 years.

This is a wine that is served at the finest Italian, Michelin-rated restaurants. Given the extended aging, the wine is actually a bargain. Don't miss a chance to taste this rare and special wine from NE Italy.

Brilliant copper color. On the nose notes of ripe orange and hints of wild berries and sloes with a pronounced yeasty note. Very bold on the palate with a rich structure, and a slightly tannic note that adds a touch of dryness to the attractive finish. ~90 Falstaff
