Description
What kind of wine is it
Ferrari Maximum Blanc de Blancs Brut is an elegant Traditional Method sparkling wine that fully expresses the character of Chardonnay. Produced by Ferrari in the Trento area, it stands out for its dry profile, enhanced by the brut dosage. On the nose, it weaves together aromas of ripe apple and citron with hints of bread crust and hazelnut. On the palate, it is fresh, enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage, finishing with a citrusy and mineral finale of great clarity.
Where does it come from
The grapes come from a distinctive mountain terroir in Trentino Alto Adige, located between three hundred and six hundred metres above sea level. South-east and south-west exposures ensure excellent sunlight, while marked temperature variations favour a slow ripening of the Chardonnay. This pedoclimatic environment gives the wine remarkable vibrancy and that mineral tension which defines its structural elegance.
How is it produced
After harvesting, vinification strictly follows the principles of the Traditional Method. The prolonged period and ageing on the lees exceed thirty-six months, enriching the flavour profile with delicate toasted notes and ensuring a harmonious texture. This patient evolution delivers a balanced tasting experience, which pairs beautifully with raw seafood, white meats and soft cheeses.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1902, the renowned Ferrari winery celebrates its heritage with a prestigious Trento DOC that recalls Giulio Ferrari's very first, historic label. This Blanc de Blancs is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown at high altitude on the hills of Trentino, an area ideal for slow ripening. Thanks to the excellence of the Traditional Method, the sparkling wine matures for over 36 months on the lees, developing an irresistible fruity freshness and pleasant hints of bread crust, culminating in a mineral finish of great elegance.

A skilled and painstaking enologist who had studied at the prestigious School of Viticulture in Montpellier, Giulio created Ferrari in 1902, producing very few, extremely select bottles at a prohibitive price, but which were still never bought to satisfy the demand of wine lovers. In 1952 Bruno Lunelli, the owner of Trento’s best-known wine bar took over Ferrari from Giulio, who continued to work in the winery until his death. Then, thanks to meticulous labour in the winery and his innate entrepreneurial verve, Bruno Lunelli increased production until it reached a hundred thousand bottles a year. In the decades that followed, Bruno Lunelli’s sons, Gino, Franco and Mauro, brought the company, which produces exclusively Classic Method sparkling wines, to the apex of quality and fame - in other words, to the peak of excellence.
Today, as was the case in the past, the Lunelli family continues to be the lifeblood of the Ferrari brand. The third generation runs the company with respect for the past and clear ideas for the future.
Their goal is to preserve the prestige of the leading producer of the Classic Method sparkling wines in Italy and one of the top ten in the world. Whilst proudly maintaining the structure of a family-owned company, the Lunelli have conquered the market through business strategies that have made Ferrari into much more than just a successful brand. The company is a real international legend, producing the best of "Made in Italy". Read more
