Vintage details

Each vintage of Ferrari Maximum Blanc de Blancs is the result of careful grape selection, hand-picked at the perfect ripeness to maintain a perfect balance between aromatics and acidity. Trentino's climatic conditions, with significant day-night temperature variations, allow for the production of fresh and aromatic Chardonnay, ideal for high-quality sparkling wines.

This is followed by a long aging period of approximately 36 months on the lees, which enriches the wine with fragrant notes and makes it creamy and complex on the palate. Further bottle aging after disgorgement completes the harmonious and refined profile of this sparkling wine.
