The grapes for this wine come from the slopes of the Dolomite mountains around the city of Trento. They are grown by around 600 families of vine growers that have worked for generations with the Lunelli family and follow the Ferrari sustainable practice protocol aided by the Ferrari agronomist team. Vineyards sit at an altitude between 300-750 meters above sea level which means high diurnal change in temperature giving the grapes a wide range of aromatics and high acidity levels. The soils here are glacial of origin and they have south-eastern and south-western exposures.
After the first fermentation in stainless steel vats, the wines underwent malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity and improve texture. The cuvée was bottled and yeast from the Ferrari own strain selection were added for second fermentation. The wine is aged on lees for an average of 2 years before disgorgement and dosage.
Light straw yellow in colour with a fine perlage. It shows pleasant fruit aromas with hints of bread crust and hazelnut. The palate is elegant with a very persistent velvety texture with a light fruity note of ripe apples, pleasant hints of yeast and sweet almonds and a faintly aromatic quality that is typical of Chardonnay.
