Ferrari was founded in 1902 by Giulio Ferrari. After studying in France, Giulio returned to Trentino convinced that his native region’s terroir was ideal for growing Chardonnay grapes suitable for production of world-class sparkling wines. He dedicated his vineyards almost entirely to Chardonnay – a highly unusually move in Trentino – and by 1906 the awards had begun to roll in. Ferrari was well on its way to producing what would soon become the most famous sparkling wine in all of Italy. In fact, Ferrari is a perennial 15-time winner of the Tre Bicchieri award wine accolade.

In 1952, Giulio Ferrari, not having any children, chose friend and local merchant Bruno Lunelli as successor for his beloved business. Today, the third generation of the Lunelli family is at the helm, overseeing 300 acres of prime estate vineyards in Trentino.

Ferrari Brut NV Reviews

"The NV Brut Metodo Classico is a beautifully balanced, crisp sparkling wine with excellent definition in its white peaches, apricots, smoke and flowers. Medium in body, Brut Metodo Classico offers excellent balance in a mid-weight style. This is one of the finest sparkling wines (from any country) for the money." - 89, Wine Advocate

"Ferrari’s base Brut (with a 2.5-million-bottle production) is a lovely sparkler with yeasty aromas of freshly baked bread and loads of dried fruit, honey and apricot. The mouthfeel is soft and creamy and this impression is reinforced by its foamy perlage." - 90, Wine Enthusiast

Ferrari Brut NV Tasting Notes

Straw yellow with slight green reflections.  Fresh and lasting bouquet, with significant overtones of ripe golden apples, wild flowers and a subtle and delicate fragrance of yeast.  Clean and balanced on the palate, with a slight and pleasant finish of ripe fruit and a hint of bread-crust.

Ferrari Brut NV Pairings

A sparkling wine of pronounced finesse. Perfect served as an aperitif or with lighter dishes, especially seafood.
