In the Glass — Tasting Notes
Pale coral, fine and persistent bubbles. Bright berry fruit married to savoury spice and a whisper of toasted almond, all balanced by the natural acidity that cool-altitude Pinot Noir brings. Not a sweetened celebration fizz—a thinking drinker's aperitif with the grace to handle food with ease.
The Winery — Ferrari
Founded in 1902 by Giulio Ferrari, a craftsman trained in Champagne who recognised Trentino's alpine potential for world-class metodo classico, the estate has been stewarded by the Lunelli family since 1952. The Dolomite slopes—planted between 300 and 600 metres—create significant day-night temperature swings, coaxing aromatic depth and sharp acidity from the grapes. This 2018 blend is 80% Pinot Noir (10–15 hours on skins for colour and red-fruit notes) and 20% Chardonnay for structure. After malolactic fermentation and five years on lees, the wine achieves real depth and balance. Recent appointment of Chef de Cave Cyril Brun, from Champagne, signals continued commitment to rigour and evolution.
At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving
At 12.5% ABV, restrained and refreshing. Pair with soft and creamy cheeses, salads and light dishes, or shellfish and crustaceans. A natural choice for date night, gifting, celebration, or as an elegant aperitivo. This rosé prioritises balance and food compatibility over flash, making it equally at home on its own or alongside a composed plate.
