Trento Giulio Ferrari Riserva 2012

Ferrari Giulio Ferrari Riserva 2012 is one of Italy’s most distinguished vintage sparkling wines, crafted in Trentino from high-altitude Chardonnay and made exclusively in exceptional years. Created as a tribute to Giulio Ferrari’s ambition to rival the finest Champagnes, it combines remarkable elegance, depth and longevity with the distinctive freshness of the Alpine terroir.

Tasting Notes
The wine has a bright, clear straw-gold appearance with delicate golden highlights and a fine, persistent mousse. Its intense, refined bouquet reveals ripe fruit, acacia honey, citrus, white chocolate and subtle floral nuances. On the palate, it is elegant and beautifully harmonious, with a velvety texture and impressive complexity. Notes of honey, ripe fruit, citrus and flowers develop through a long, polished finish. Thanks to its concentration, balance and extended maturation, the 2012 vintage has excellent aging potential and can continue to evolve gracefully in bottle for many years.

Production
Produced under the Trento DOC designation, this Riserva is made from Chardonnay grown at altitude in Trentino, where cool Alpine conditions preserve freshness while encouraging slow, expressive ripening. Ferrari’s vineyards are cultivated using sustainable methods, and the wine is made according to the traditional method, with secondary fermentation in bottle and prolonged maturation on its lees. The long aging contributes to its fine bubbles, creamy texture and layered aromatic profile.

Food & Serving
An outstanding aperitif, Ferrari Giulio Ferrari Riserva 2012 is especially well suited to oysters, shellfish, crustaceans and delicate fish dishes. Its depth also makes it a compelling partner for truffle-based preparations and refined gastronomic cuisine. Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C. Decanting is not normally necessary, but a brief pour into a suitable carafe can help reveal the wine’s full aromatic complexity when serving older bottles.

Producer
The Ferrari story began in 1902, when Giulio Ferrari set out to create a Trentino sparkling wine capable of competing with the finest French Champagne. A pioneer of Chardonnay cultivation in Italy, he produced only a small number of carefully selected bottles, placing uncompromising quality at the heart of the estate. Today, the third generation of the Lunelli family continues his vision, combining tradition, innovation and deep respect for the Trentino landscape. Every Ferrari wine is Trento DOC and made exclusively from grapes grown in the region, helping establish Ferrari as one of Italy’s leading ambassadors of premium traditional-method sparkling wine.
