Ferrari Trento Perle Zero Brut Nature 2017

Ferrari Trento Perlé Zero Brut Nature 2017 is a pure, mountain-born expression of Chardonnay from the heart of Trentino. Crafted as a Trentodoc with zero dosage, it offers an uncompromisingly dry, vibrant style that lets terroir and meticulous winemaking shine through. Blending reserve wines and a single vintage, it reflects the art of the cuvée while honoring Ferrari’s century-long legacy as a pioneer of Italian traditional-method sparkling wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Perlé Zero 2017 shows a luminous straw-yellow hue with delicate golden highlights and an exceptionally fine, persistent mousse. The bubbles rise in a steady, refined stream, promising both tension and elegance. The nose opens with pure mountain freshness: green apple, Williams pear, and citrus zest layered with white peach, floral hints of hawthorn and acacia, and subtle notes of fresh brioche and toasted hazelnut from lees aging. On the palate, the wine is bone-dry and incisive, with a chalky, mineral backbone and racy acidity that speaks clearly of altitude and limestone-rich soils. Flavors of citrus, crunchy orchard fruits, and a touch of saline sapidity are interwoven with delicate nuances of almond, pastry, and light spice. The structure is taut yet creamy on the mid-palate, leading to a long, precise, and very clean finish. With its Brut Nature style and solid spine, this Trentodoc has excellent aging potential over the next 5–8 years, during which it will gain further complexity, nuttiness, and textural depth.

Production
Ferrari Trento Perlé Zero Brut Nature 2017 is sourced from high-altitude Chardonnay vineyards on the steep slopes of Trentino, where cool Alpine breezes, large diurnal temperature swings, and well-drained, calcareous soils shape grapes of remarkable tension and aromatic clarity. The fruit is carefully hand-harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve acidity and finesse, then gently pressed to obtain only the finest must. Fermentation takes place predominantly in stainless steel to highlight Chardonnay’s fruit and floral character, while a portion matures in oak to add structure and complexity, and reserve wines contribute depth to the final cuvée. After secondary fermentation in bottle using the traditional method, the wine spends an extended period resting on its lees, gaining creaminess and subtle autolytic notes. It is released as a Brut Nature, without dosage, allowing the purest expression of terroir, vintage, and mountain Chardonnay to come through.

Food & Serving
This ultra-dry, mineral-driven Trentodoc is a superb match for refined, delicately flavored dishes that echo its precision. Think crudo or carpaccio of sea bass or turbot, oysters, scallop ceviche, or simply prepared shellfish; it also pairs beautifully with sushi, sashimi, and tempura. On land, try it with goat cheese, fresh burrata with olive oil and sea salt, light vegetable risottos, or chicken and veal dishes with citrus or herb-based sauces. Serve well chilled at 8–10°C (46–50°F) to highlight its tension and fine mousse; as it warms slightly in the glass, more depth and complexity will emerge. A brief decant in a carafe or a wider-bowled sparkling wine glass can help the wine open aromatically, especially if enjoyed in its youth.
