Chardonnay from vineyards near the Alps shapes its character: cool nights, intense sunshine and limestone-rich soils result in clear fruit, elegance and a pronounced mineral streak.

The Chardonnay grape variety dominates this single-varietal Spumante and expresses its full aristocratic grandeur. In the high-altitude vineyards of Trentino-South Tyrol, it achieves remarkable aromatic precision and timeless nobility.

Production of the Giulio Collezione Ferrari in GP – Ferrari

The grapes for this exceptional Spumante come from selected sites in Trentino, in the immediate vicinity of the Alps. The climate combines warm, sunny days with distinctly cooler nights. These temperature differences promote aromatic depth and clear, cool fruit. The altitude and fresh mountain air support a slow, even ripening phase for the Chardonnay grapes.

The soils consist predominantly of limestone, dolomite and finely weathered moraine deposits. These geological conditions give the wine its tension-filled backbone and distinctive mineral note on the finish. The vines root deeply, finding important nutrient reserves there and developing intensely flavoured grapes with concentrated aromas.

The harvest is carried out selectively by hand, plot by plot. Only perfectly ripe, aromatically concentrated grapes reach the cellar. An initial selection is made in the vineyard, followed by another strict sorting process at the winery. As a result, only flawless grape material reaches the press.

Vinification begins with gentle pressing, during which only the finest must is obtained. The first fermentation takes place under temperature control in stainless steel tanks, preserving the pure Chardonnay fruit and delicate citrus and floral aromas. This is followed by traditional bottle fermentation according to the Metodo Classico, the defining feature of Ferrari’s style.

The base wine receives the tirage dosage, after which the second fermentation takes place directly in the bottle. This process creates the fine, elegant perlage. Extended ageing on the lees gives the Spumante its creamy mousseux, along with notes of brioche, toasted almond and a subtle honey tone. As the yeast ageing progresses, the wine gains complexity, depth and impressive length.

Ferrari’s cellar style places clarity, precision and nobility at the forefront. Every step is carried out with the utmost care, from the vineyard through to disgorgement. Craftsmanship, experience and patience shape a Spumante that accompanies great moments and becomes an occasion in its own right.
