Product Notes

Ferrari Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore is a pioneering Italian sparkling wine, crafted with the utmost precision. A product of handpicked Chardonnay grapes, it boasts a spectacular array of aromas, from sharp citrus prowling alongside enchanting white flowers and honeyed notes, to the smoky allure of fresh-baked bread. Its palate reveals consistent bubbles, exceptional balance and a bewitching complexity. A flurry of flavours dance on the tongue – peaches, almonds, and creamy butter against a backdrop of fresh acidity. This rich yet refreshing wine is an irrefutable testament to Italian craftsmanship and tradition in winemaking.

Tasting Notes

It has an enchanting appearance, displaying a golden yellow hue traversed slowly by an extremely fine perlage that lingers for a long time on the surface of the glass. The initial impression on the nose reveals a kaleidoscope of aromas, starting off with apricot and pineapple, before giving way to honey, freshly baked apple pie, and cinnamon. Nuances of butter and mountain herbs emerge with further oxygenation in the glass. In the mouth, it amazes one with the incredible richness of its fruit and the delicacy of its bubbles. These combine to caress the palate, underpinned by perfectly integrated acidity. The finish is tangy and extraordinarily long. A wine that is multi-faceted, aristocratic, and satisfying.
