Trento Spumante 'Missoni Black & White Limited Edition' Ferrari

Ferrari's Trento Spumante "Missoni Black and White Limited Edition" was born in the Trentino region from the passion and dream of Giulio Ferrari, who in the early 1900s decided to give life to a company capable of producing wines of excellent quality, comparing itself with the renowned French Champagnes. Giulio was the first to identify the extraordinary potential that the Chardonnay grape variety was capable of releasing; in 1952 he decided to look for a worthy successor to his business and found him in Bruno Lunelli, who brought a breath of progress and novelty, while remaining tied to the teachings and tradition started by Ferrari: it was with him that the winery became a family affair and with Franco, Gino and Mauro Lunelli the Ferrari brand became a leader in Italy and abroad, with nothing to envy to the great French Maisons.

The vineyards of Ferrari's Trento Spumante "Missoni Black and White Limited Edition" are located in mountainous areas with an ideal microclimate: hot, sunny summers with significant temperature swings between day and night that enhance the aromatic bouquet of the grapes, and cold, snowy winters with sporadic frosts. Human intervention in the vineyard is regulated by respect for the natural phases of growth and development of the plants so that each stage from the vineyard to the table is fair and ethical; the cultivation regime chosen is organic in favour of native biodiversity. The grapes are harvested manually between the end of August and early September, and an initial careful selection of the best bunches takes place in the vineyard. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel with selected yeasts. It stays on the yeasts for about 40 months.

To the eye, Ferrari's Trento Spumante "Missoni Black and White Limited Edition" is a deep golden yellow with brilliant reflections and a fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet of aromas is harmonious and varied with initial hints of ripe yellow fruit and citrus jelly in combination with sweet spices such as vanilla and toasted notes of hazelnut and freshly baked bread crust; the palate is creamy, enveloping and refined with a good overall balance for a curious drink. In pairing it is excellent with refined canapés made with fresh creams and smoked salmon, light fish fritters and first courses with shellfish and molluscs. Ideal for romantic occasions to surprise your sweetheart with an authentic and refined product.
