What kind of wine is Trento DOC 'Riserva Lunelli' 2015 - Ferrari (cased)?
The Trento DOC 'Riserva Lunelli' 2015 - Ferrari (cased) is a Classic Method sparkling wine, meaning it is produced with a second fermentation in the bottle, the same process used for Champagne. It originates in the heart of Trentino, from Chardonnay grapes cultivated in the vineyards of Villa Margon, an area particularly suited due to its alpine climate and mineral-rich soils. It is a wine that combines tradition and winemaking expertise, with a refined and intense personality, ideal for those seeking a high-level yet approachable sparkling wine.Vintage details
The 2015 vintage is remembered for balanced weather: a cold but not extreme winter, a regular spring, and a warm summer, with good temperature variations between day and night. These conditions favored the perfect maturation of the grapes, ensuring complex aromas, well-balanced acidity, and a structure of great elegance.Winemaking and aging
The Trento DOC 'Riserva Lunelli' 2015 - Ferrari (cased) is produced exclusively from hand-selected Chardonnay grapes.

Secondary fermentation occurs via the Classic Method, and the wine remains on its lees for over 7 years, during which it develops aromatic complexity and fine perlage. Once disgorged, each bottle rests for several more months before release.Tasting notes
