Trento Doc Giulio Ferrari Rosé 2008 Ferrari 75 cl

Description

History

The history of Ferrari begins way back in 1902 thanks to Giulio Ferrari and his dream of creating a classic method sparkling wine in Trentino similar to those produced by the French. Giulio had specialized in oenology in Montpellier and had spent 5 years between France, Austria and North Africa during which he had accumulated skills; he had therefore observed the Trentino territories and had come to the conclusion that the cuttings of international vines could well adapt to them. In 1902 he therefore produced a few bottles of classic method sparkling wine called “Champagne Maximum Sec G. Ferrari”, which immediately met with great success. The company will see a perpetual qualitative improvement and growth until the 1950s, exactly in 1952, when Giulio, having no children, finds himself choosing an heir and the choice falls on Bruno Lunelli, the owner of a wine shop in Trento. Thanks to his entrepreneurial skills, Bruno manages to produce his sparkling wines on a large scale without ever giving up or lowering the quality of the products. From the ’70s to the ’00s, the second generation of the family will be at the helm of the company and historical labels such as Ferrari Rosé, Ferrari Perlé and Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore will be born. Today the company is led by the third generation, which keeps the Ferrari dream alive.

Tasting notes

Salmon pink color with bright splashes and reflections tending towards coppery, fine and very elegant perlage. On the nose notes of wild berry jam, dog rose and citrus fruits, violets and mountain flowers, with pastry, melted butter, vanilla, saffron and pink pepper, all intertwined with a great minerality and balsamic hints. Very vertical and deep, very elegant. An explosion of sensations on the palate: enveloping, ample and rich, at the same time fine and delicate, with a large acidity on the finish. Very long persistence on the palate.

Possible combinations

In ideal combination with fish dishes, first or fried, boiled and sautéed vegetables. Also excellent as an aperitif or for a toast.
