Ferrari Brut is the historic sparkling wine of Ferrari Trento, an Italian Trentodoc made by the traditional method and bottled at 12.5% ABV.
It is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, grown in the mountains of Trentino, whose cool altitude gives the wine its freshness and elegance.
The wine ages for 20 months in bottle on its lees before release, developing its fine, persistent bubbles and a delicate yeasty character.
It pours a lively, bright straw yellow, with a fresh and intense bouquet of ripe Golden Delicious apples, white flowers and a delicate scent of yeast. The palate is harmonious and well balanced, with a faint suggestion of ripe fruit and attractive hints of crusty bread.
It is a celebratory Italian alternative to Champagne, and a classic gift.

How to Enjoy It
Serve Ferrari Brut well chilled, at around 8 to 10°C, in a tulip or white wine glass. Chill the bottle for a few hours in the refrigerator, or for about twenty minutes in an ice bucket filled with ice and water, and open it gently, holding the cork and turning the bottle, so the fine bubbles stay in the glass. It is a lovely aperitif with Parmigiano, prosciutto, olives and fried bites, and it pairs beautifully with risotto, seafood pasta, sushi, fried fish and white meats. It makes an elegant base for a Bellini with white peach purée, a Rossini with strawberry, or a sparkling Negroni. Once opened, a sparkling wine stopper will keep it lively in the refrigerator for a day or two.
