ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Ferrari's Brut Perlé is a Millesimato Metodo Classico sparkling wine that matures sui lieviti for 60 months. It represents one of the excellences of Cantina Ferrari and more generally of sparkling wine making in Trentino. It is a pure Chardonnay with a fresh profile, typical of the mountain regions, expressing a rich complexity and aromatic intensity. A Spumante that wins over with refined floral notes, ripe fruit, and noble evolutionary hints of bread crust and secco fruit.
The Trento Spumante Brut Perlé is a blanc de blancs produced by Cantina Ferrari, par- ticipating from a careful selection of the best Chardonnay grapes from vineyards cultivated at an altitude between 300 and 700 meters, with southeast and southwest exposure. In these particular climatic conditions, the Chardonnay ripens slowly, maintaining great freshness even when fully ripe. The possibility of being able to count on a wide range of plots with different characteristics always ensures that we have a wide choice and can select quality grapes in each vintage. After manual harvesting, we proceed to the traditional white vinification of the base wines. Once the aging period is over, the cuvée is created and the subsequent resting period on sui lieviti, which lasts at least 60 months before dégorgement.
Cantina Ferrari's Spumante Brut Perlé is one of the labels that best represents the great Trentino sparkling wine tradition. Chardonnay has been at home in this land for centuries and has become well accustomed to the cool climate of the area. It provides grapes that are very suitable for creating sparkling wine bases to elaborate Metodo classico of excellence, which knows how to combine complexity and freshness. The color is straw yellow with brilliant golden highlights. The bouquet is intense and multifaceted, with scents of white flowers, fruity and citrus aromas, hints of pain brioche, toasted almond and spices. The sip is characterized by a very lively momentum, opening to a rich and complex center of the mouth. The finish is pleasantly fresh, long and persistent.
