Sparkling wine Perlé – Trento DOC – Ferrari – 2019

The Perlé sparkling wine from the Ferrari winery 

The Perlé sparkling wine from the Ferrari winery comes from a selection of Chardonnay grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winey in the most suitable areas for cultivating vines in the Trento DOC denomination. These are mountainous areas with sea levels that vary between 300 and 700 meters. Elegant and fresh, it is a complex sparkling wine that fully reflects the quality of the wines from the Ferrari winery.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest of the grapes is strictly manual, and only the selected ones go to the cellar for winemaking. Each particle is harvested separately. Once in the cellar, the winery proceeds with the classic white winemaking, and each particle is wine made separately. Once the wine has reached the right level of refinement, the cuvée is created and bottled with the yeasts for the second fermentation. The wine then rests in the bottle for at least fifty-four months.

Tasting the wine of the winery

Intense yellow with golden reflections and a very fine and persistent perlage; the aroma is wonderful with pleasant floral notes of almond blossoms which alternate with fruity hints where the rennet apple prevails which in turn leaves room for light spicy scents and puffs of bread crust. On the palate, it is elegant with a velvety sensation in which you can perceive an excellent correspondence between the aroma and flavours. This wine has a long finish with pleasant aromatic notes typical of Chardonnay grapes.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with all fish-based dishes. To try with sushi but also with fried fish.
