Ferrari, Trento Perlé 2018

Ferrari Trento Perlé 2018 is a refined vintage sparkling wine from Trentino, made exclusively from high-altitude Chardonnay and matured for at least five years on its lees. Produced under the prestigious Trentodoc designation, it reflects Giulio Ferrari’s pioneering vision of creating Italian sparkling wines capable of rivaling the finest Champagnes. Its combination of alpine freshness, elegant fruit and extended lees ageing makes it a particularly sophisticated expression of Ferrari’s house style.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden-yellow colour with luminous golden highlights and a fine, persistent mousse. Its intense and polished bouquet reveals almond blossom, crisp apple and delicate spice, followed by subtle notes of freshly baked bread and pastry from its prolonged lees ageing. On the palate, Ferrari Perlé 2018 is elegant and velvety, with layers of ripe apple, soft yeast nuances and sweet almond. The texture is generous yet balanced by refreshing acidity, creating a harmonious and lingering finish. It is drinking beautifully now, while its structure and extended maturation should allow it to develop further complexity over the next several years when stored carefully.

Production
The grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Trentino, where cool mountain conditions and significant day-to-night temperature variation help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. Ferrari works with sustainable cultivation methods and harvests the fruit at optimum ripeness to retain both concentration and balance. The wine is produced exclusively from Chardonnay under the traditional method and matures for a minimum of five years on its lees, allowing it to develop its refined texture, delicate pastry notes and complex character.

Food & Serving
Serve Ferrari Trento Perlé 2018 well chilled, ideally at 8–10°C, in a tulip-shaped sparkling-wine glass to preserve its aromas and mousse. Its balance and creamy texture make it an excellent partner for oysters, shellfish, sushi, lightly smoked fish, delicate poultry and refined vegetable dishes. It also works beautifully with mature cheeses and can be enjoyed on its own as an elegant aperitif. Decanting is not recommended, as it may cause the wine to lose some of its effervescence; open it shortly before serving instead.

Producer
Ferrari was founded in 1902 by Giulio Ferrari, a visionary winemaker who planted significant quantities of Chardonnay in Italy and dedicated himself to producing highly selective sparkling wines in Trentino. Today, the third generation of the Lunelli family—Marcello, Matteo, Camilla and Alessandro—continues his legacy, combining innovation with tradition and promoting Ferrari internationally as an ambassador of the Italian art of living. All Ferrari wines are Trentodoc and are made from grapes grown in Trentino’s high-altitude vineyards. The winery is recognised as one of Italy’s leading producers of traditional-method sparkling wine and has played a defining role in establishing Trentodoc’s reputation.
