ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Trento Spumante Riserva "Perlé Bianco" is one of the most interesting and refined Metodo Classico labels from the famous Trentino winery, Ferrari. It is a blanc de blancs made from a selection of high quality, pure chardonnay grapes from the estate's best vignae. The long rest on sui lieviti, enriches the typically varietal floral and fruity bouquet with elegant and complex evolutionary notes of pastry, vanilla, citrus zest, which make the sip multifaceted and persistent. It is a Metodo Classico of great expressive finesse, dedicated to those who love the creamy, enveloping aromas of ripe Chardonnay, always perfectly supported by a lively freshness.
Metodo Classico Riserva "Perlé Bianco" is a sparkling wine produced by one of the wineries that has made Italian sparkling wine history. Founded back in 1902 by giulio ferrari, a great Champagne enthusiast, the ferrari winery is still an indispensable reference point, not only of the Trento DOC appellation, but nationwide for all lovers of Metodo Classico. In addition to its own vigna, Ferrari has woven a network of business relationships with many winemakers, who own plots in the most vocated areas of the REGION. There are about 800 hectares of vigna belonging to the winery, but only the best grapes are vinified to produce sparkling wine. All Ferrari winemakers must adhere to a strict protocol, which prohibits the use of chemical herbicides and synthetic pesticides. Respect for the land and a constant search for the highest quality are the guidelines of a flagship winery for the Italian sparkling wine.
Spumante Riserva "Perlé Bianco" is a Trentino metodo classico produced by the Ferrari winery with a manual harvest of the estate's best chardonnay grapes. This is followed by soft pressing and fermentation in steel tanks. After the cuvée is created, it is re-fermented in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico, with an aging period of 96 months on sui lieviti.
In the glass it has a bright and brilliant golden yellow color, crossed by a very fine and continuous perlage.
The bouquet is reminiscent of floral scents, candied citrus peel, aromas of ripe yellow fruit, pain brioche, pastry, toasted and delicately spiced sensations. On the palate it has good structure, with an intense, rich and creamy sip that lengthens harmoniously toward a pleasantly fresh finish.
