Ferrari Trento Perle Rosè Brut Riserva 2018

Ferrari Trento Perlé Rosé Brut Riserva 2018 is a refined vintage sparkling rosé from the mountains of Trentino, crafted from carefully selected Pinot Nero and Chardonnay grapes from the Ferrari family’s own vineyards. Elegant and poised, it combines delicate fruit with an aristocratic persistence that lingers long after each sip. As part of Italy’s top traditional-method sparkling wines, this Trentodoc rosé showcases the house style at a particularly expressive and ageworthy level.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2018 Perlé Rosé shows a delicate, shimmering onion-skin pink with fine, persistent bubbles that form a refined, continuous mousse. The nose opens with wild strawberries, raspberry and pomegranate, followed by blood orange, rose petals and subtle brioche and hazelnut from extended lees aging. On the palate, it is dry, precise and beautifully structured, with the tension and freshness you’d expect from high-altitude vineyards. Red berry fruit and citrus zest are wrapped around a mineral backbone, with hints of spice, toasted almond and pastry cream emerging as it warms in the glass. The finish is long, savory and saline, with a refined, chalky grip. While already harmonious and approachable now, this vintage rosé has the structure and acidity to evolve gracefully for 6–8 years from the vintage, developing more complexity and autolytic notes over time.

Production
Sourced from Ferrari’s own high-altitude vineyards in Trentino Alto Adige, the Perlé Rosé Riserva 2018 reflects a cool Alpine terroir of steep slopes, significant diurnal range and well-drained, calcareous soils. Grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness and selection, with Pinot Nero predominating for structure and aromatic intensity, complemented by Chardonnay for finesse and freshness. The wine is made using the traditional method (metodo classico), with gentle pressing of whole clusters, separate vinification of base wines, and a second fermentation in bottle. It then rests on the lees for an extended period—typically several years—before disgorgement, building its fine mousse, depth of flavor and signature, creamy texture.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile sparkling rosé that pairs beautifully with refined appetizers, such as salmon tartare, tuna carpaccio, or charcuterie with prosciutto and speck. It is equally at home alongside prawn risotto, seared scallops, sushi, or roasted poultry and veal dishes, and can even complement mildly spiced Asian cuisine. Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C (46–50°F) in a white wine or tulip-shaped sparkling glass to highlight both aroma and texture. A brief 10–15 minutes in the glass is enough to let the wine open up; extended decanting is not necessary, though opening the bottle a few minutes before serving will allow the bouquet to fully express itself.

Producer
Founded in 1902 by Giulio Ferrari, Ferrari Trento is one of Italy’s benchmark producers of metodo classico sparkling wines and a leading name in the Trentodoc appellation. Located in Trentino Alto Adige, the estate was among the first to recognize the potential of mountain viticulture and traditional-method sparkling wine in this Alpine region. Now run by the Lunelli family, Ferrari has become a symbol of Italian elegance, serving as the official toast at numerous national and international events and earning prestigious awards from critics and competitions worldwide. Their Perlé line, including this Rosé Riserva, represents some of the estate’s most refined expressions of high-altitude sparkling wine, celebrated for precision, longevity and a distinctive Trentino character.
