Presenting Ferrari Trento: a limited-edition sparkling wine released for prestigious Grands Prix in the Formula 1 World Championship.
The legend of Ferrari began with a man named Giulio Ferrari and his dream of creating a wine in Trentino that could rival the best French Champagnes. He was a pioneer, the first to recognise the extraordinary potential of his region and to make substantial plantings of Chardonnay in Italy. He began producing a limited number of highly select bottles, with an obsessive attention to quality.
Years after the business was passed on to Bruno Lunelli, the owner of the local shop, and then to his sons. It was under the leadership of Franco, Gino, and Mauro, Ferrari became the market leader in Italy and the nation’s celebratory wine par excellence. Today, the third generation of the Lunelli family continues to keep the Ferrari dream alive.
Ferrari is crafted in mountainside vineyards in the finest areas of Trentino and perfected in the winery using the traditional methods required for making Trentodoc wines. With its mountain viticulture, Trentino is extraordinarily suited for producing sparkling wines of great elegance and complexity. The alternation of warm days and cool nights enhances the quality of the grapes, bestowing them with a diverse array of flavours and fragrances.
Ferrari F1 Silverstone Blanc de Blancs is a 100% Chardonnay expression, matured on its lees for 38 months. Fine beaded bubbles exhibit finesse and persistence. Highly intense aromas featuring mature fruit notes, with hints of crusty bread and hazelnut, with fresh, very elegant, velvety soft mouthfeel, with touches of citrus and mineral sensations on the finish.
Food pairing suggestion: white fish tartar
