ABOUT THIS WINE
Ferrari Riserva Lunelli is a Metodo Classico sparkling white wine from the Trentodoc appellation in Trentino, Italy, made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The wine's production involves a distinctive first fermentation in large Austrian oak casks, a technique honoring traditional methods. The grapes are sourced from the Lunelli family's vineyards, situated at high altitudes that contribute to the wine's complexity, especially in vintages like 2015, which experienced a hot and dry climate. The winery, founded by Giulio Ferrari and led by the Lunelli family since 1952, is dedicated to producing high-quality Italian sparkling wines.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Ferrari Riserva Lunelli is produced using the Metodo Classico, the traditional method for creating sparkling wines. The initial fermentation is carried out in large Austrian oak casks, a technique chosen to enhance the wine's body and richness. Following this, the wine undergoes an extended aging process, spending a minimum of seven years on its lees in the bottle. This extended maturation is key to developing the wine's complex character and refined texture. The grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Trentino, with the 2015 vintage being influenced by a hot and dry climate, necessitating careful vineyard management.
