About Ferrari

Operating in a perfected manner depends on authentic values, lovingly cultivated and passed down from one generation to the next. It is a constant quest for quality and attention to detail during the entire production process that have made Ferrari Italy s leading producer of Metodo Classico sparkling wines. A profound link with the territory and respect for the land in every single operation: all of Ferrari s wines are Trentodoc and are produced exclusively from grapes grown in Trentino at high altitudes using sustainable farming methods. With its mountain viticulture, Trentino is an area that is extraordinarily suited to the production of sparkling wines of great elegance and complexity: the alternation of warm days and cool nights give added quality to the grapes, giving them a rainbow of different flavours and fragrances. Towards the end of the summer, when the bunches of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are ripe, the grapes are picked by hand and taken to the winery, where they are pressed. This is followed by the first fermentation, from which derive aromas reminiscent of those of the variety of origin. After the creation of the cuv e, the base wine is bottled and enriched with sugars and selected yeasts. The cuv e remains in the bottle virtually undisturbed for between two and ten years, depending on the individual wine. In the silence of the cellar the daily ritual of remuage carried out: that eighth of a turn of each bottle that is indispensable for making the sediment slide towards the cork; this sediment will then be removed by utilizing d gorgement.
