Description
Ferrari "Maximum" Brut Rosé, Fratelli Lunelli Ferrari, Trento DOC, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy, NV
Grapes: A blend of 70% Pinot Noir & 30% Chardonnay, sustainable farming, hand harvested, bottle fermented (Metodo Classico), 6.5g/L residual sugar (Dry)
Producer Tasting Note:
Elegant old rose hue and a persistent perlage. A delicate fragrance with hints of yeast, deriving from more than 30 months’ ageing in bottle, and the sensations of berries that are typical of Pinot Noir. A succulent mellowness, rich tanginess and intriguing vinosity; the notes of raspberry, wild strawberry and violets are accompanied by hints of brioche on the finish.
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, aged on the lees for over 30 months.
Striking Aperol pink. Clean and focused nose of shredded wheat and raspberry. Super-fresh lemon and raspberry palate with long fine CO2. Gorgeous length and style giving much more expensive pink champagne a run for its money although this is far from an imitation – and much better value."
17/20 points, Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com, May 2021
"Made with 70% Pinot Nero and 30% Chardonnay, this exquisite, structured sparkler opens with enticing scents of rose petal, citrus, baking spice and red berry. The gorgeous, radiant palate boasts vibrancy and depth, featuring juicy red cherry and pomegranate overlaying rhubarb and mineral notes that recall graphite and saline. A silky, persistent perlage provides loads of finesse while bright acidity lends intensity and precision. Extraordinary."
97/100 points, Kerin O’Keefe, WINE ENTHUSIAST, April 2021
Estate: Giulio Ferrari honed his craft in Champagne, before founding his eponymous winery in 1902, aiming to produce world-class sparkling wines in the Trento DOC. With no heirs, he passed it to Bruno Lunelli in 1952, whose family still run the estate today. Winemaker, Cyril Brun, from Aÿ in Champagne, joined as 'Chef de Cave' in June 2023, bringing his vast experience and a new perspective to their Trento DOC Metodo Classico sparkling wines.
Food Match: Focaccia, Bresaola della Valtellina (air-dried salted beef), and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
