Description
What kind of wine it is
Trento Perle Brut is a Traditional Method sparkling wine that expresses the essence of Chardonnay. In the glass, it displays a straw-yellow hue with golden highlights, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. The initial nose is clear, with aromas of grapefruit, ginger root and fresh pineapple, followed by hints of aromatic herbs and cumin. On the palate, it is dry, savoury and dynamic, with an initial roundness that fades into a long aromatic persistence for a precise and elegant sip.
Where it comes from
This sparkling wine originates in Trentino, a mountainous region particularly suited to viticulture. The identity of this wine is deeply linked to the Ferrari winery, founded at the beginning of the twentieth century by Giulio Ferrari. His aim was to create a great Italian wine inspired by the structure of Champagne. Today, the Lunelli family continues this vision, consolidating the vocation of the Trento denomination in enhancing Chardonnay through slow refermentation in the bottle.
How it is produced
Production begins with manual harvesting, selecting the ideal bunches for the sparkling base. The prise de mousse follows the strict rules of the Traditional Method, with ageing for around five years on selected yeasts from their own cultures. This prolonged maturation creates a dry and complex taste texture. Thanks to its clear profile, the wine proves ideal for accompanying cheeses and delicate white fish dishes, elegantly enhancing even the most refined first courses.
History and Curiosities
The Ferrari legend began in 1902 thanks to the genius of Giulio Ferrari, driven by the desire to create an Italian excellence to rival the finest Champagnes. Today, under the guidance of the Lunelli family, the company presents the Trento Perlé Brut 2019, a pure expression of Trentino Chardonnay. This Metodo Classico sparkling wine matures for around five years on the lees, offering a dry, profound and elegant sip. Its refined perlage enhances vibrant notes of grapefruit, fresh pineapple and ginger, establishing this label as an authentic emblem of the Trento DOC designation.

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
