{"product_id":"ferrari-trento-maximum-demi-sec","title":"Ferrari Trento Maximum Demi Sec","description":"\u003cp\u003eFerrari Trento Maximum Demi Sec is a refined Italian sparkling wine that brings together elegance, generosity, and vibrant charm in every glass. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay and aged for over two years on the lees, it offers a richer, rounder profile than a Brut, making it a superb choice for those who enjoy a touch of sweetness without sacrificing freshness. As a classic Trentodoc from the Alpine region of Trentino, it showcases Italy’s answer to high-quality traditional-method sparkling wines, with a history of excellence that dates back over a century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Ferrari Trento Maximum Demi Sec shows a bright, straw-yellow hue with fine, persistent bubbles forming a delicate, creamy mousse. The nose is inviting and generous, with aromas of ripe orchard fruits like pear and golden apple, alongside notes of candied citrus peel, acacia honey, and a subtle hint of brioche and pastry from its extended aging on the lees.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is round, smooth, and harmonious, with a gentle demi-sec sweetness beautifully balanced by vibrant Alpine acidity. Flavors of baked apple, white peach, citrus cream, and a touch of vanilla-laced biscuit unfold across the palate, finishing with a clean, refreshing lift that keeps it precise rather than heavy. Thanks to its more than two years of bottle aging, it has a supple, creamy texture and a fine integration of bubbles, making it immediately pleasurable to drink. While intended for enjoyment in its youth for maximum freshness and fruit expression, it can comfortably rest for a few more years, developing softer, more honeyed notes over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFerrari Trento Maximum Demi Sec is born in the cool, mountainous terroir of Trentino Alto Adige, where high-altitude vineyards, mineral-rich soils, and wide day–night temperature swings give Chardonnay grapes exceptional aromatic intensity and freshness. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve both natural acidity and pure fruit character. Vinification follows the traditional method (Metodo Classico): after a gentle pressing and primary fermentation, the base wines are blended and bottled with selected yeasts for a long second fermentation in bottle. The wine then rests sur lie for over two years, allowing the fine lees to impart texture, complexity, and those refined notes of brioche and pastry that elevate this Trentodoc beyond simple sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Demi Sec is particularly versatile at the table, pairing beautifully with pâté, foie gras, and savory pastries, as well as delicately spiced Asian cuisine and richer seafood dishes like scallops in cream or lobster with butter. It also shines with mature soft cheeses, fruit tarts, crème brûlée, and classic Italian pastries, making it an excellent choice for celebrations and dessert courses. Serve well-chilled at around 6–8°C (43–46°F) to highlight its freshness and fine bubbles. A brief, gentle opening in the glass is all that’s needed; extended decanting is not necessary, though pouring into wider tulip-shaped flutes or white wine glasses will allow the aromas and mousse to fully express themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1902 by Giulio Ferrari, the Ferrari winery is a pioneer of traditional-method sparkling wine in Italy and the historic benchmark of the Trentodoc appellation. Located in Trentino at the foothills of the Dolomites, Ferrari recognized early on that the region’s Alpine climate and high-altitude vineyards were ideal for growing Chardonnay destined for méthode traditionnelle wines. Over the decades, Ferrari has become one of Italy’s most celebrated sparkling wine producers, earning numerous national and international awards and serving as a reference point for quality Italian bubbles worldwide. Its commitment to meticulous vineyard work, sustainable practices, and long lees aging has cemented Ferrari’s status as a flagship producer and an ambassador for Trentino’s fine sparkling wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ferrari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255181136209,"sku":"XW-11341","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/ferrari-demi-sec_11341_1.jpg?v=1783457002","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/ferrari-trento-maximum-demi-sec","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
