What kind of wine is Trento Riserva DOC 'Perlé Rosé' 2016 Magnum - Ferrari (cased)
The Trento Riserva DOC 'Perlé Rosé' 2016 Magnum - Ferrari (cased) is a Classic Method sparkling wine, meaning it undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, the same process used for Champagne. It originates from the high-altitude vineyards of Trentino, where the significant temperature variations between day and night and the purity of the air ensure grapes of extraordinary freshness and aromatic intensity. It is a Rosé of great elegance and finesse, combining the structure and complexity of Pinot Noir with the freshness and vivacity of Chardonnay.
Vintage details
The 2016 vintage is remembered in Trentino for its balanced climate: a snowy winter, a regular spring, and a dry summer fostered a slow and complete ripening of the grapes. The manual harvest allowed for the selection of only the healthiest and ripest bunches, ensuring an excellent quality base for the second fermentation in the bottle.
Vinification and aging
The Trento Riserva DOC 'Perlé Rosé' 2016 Magnum - Ferrari (cased) is primarily produced with Pinot Noir grapes and a small proportion of Chardonnay, hand-harvested and gently pressed to preserve their aroma. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks, followed by secondary fermentation in the bottle, typical of the Classic Method. The sparkling wine ages for a full 5 years on its lees, a period that enriches its structure and enhances aromas of bread crust and dried fruit, before a further rest in the bottle completes its maturation.

How to open and best serve Trento Riserva DOC 'Perlé Rosé' 2016 Magnum - Ferrari (case)
1. Bottle positioning
Before opening Trento Riserva DOC 'Perlé Rosé' 2016 Magnum - Ferrari (case), it is important to position the bottle correctly. If it has been stored in a cellar, place it upright for at least 24 hours before opening. This allows any sediment, typical of fine traditional method sparkling wines with long aging, to settle at the bottom, preventing the wine from clouding when served.
2. Ideal serving temperature
The optimal temperature to best enjoy this Trento DOC is 10-12°C. Chill the bottle slowly in the refrigerator, avoiding sudden temperature changes. If possible, keep it in an ice bucket with water and ice for about 20 minutes before serving. An excessively low temperature would penalize its aromas and complexity, while too high a temperature would compromise the freshness and finesse of the bubbles.
3. Opening the bottle
Being a sparkling magnum, opening the Trento Riserva DOC 'Perlé Rosé' 2016 Magnum - Ferrari (case) requires delicacy and control. Follow these steps:
- Remove the top foil and loosen the wire cage, keeping your thumb on the cork for safety.
- Hold the bottle at a 45° angle and slowly rotate the base, not the cork.
- Let the gas escape with a gentle sigh, avoiding a "pop" to prevent carbonic acid dispersion and preserve the elegance of the sparkling wine.
4. Inspection and initial tasting
After opening, observe the color: the coppery rosé of Perlé Rosé 2016 reveals its evolution. Bring your nose to the glass to perceive complex aromas of small red berries, bread crust, and a delicate spicy note. A small initial sip will allow you to check the quality of the mousse and the perfect condition of the wine.
5. Decanting and oxygenation
Even if it is a sparkling wine, decanting can be useful for an important vintage like the Trento Riserva DOC 'Perlé Rosé' 2016 Magnum - Ferrari (case). You can use a wide carafe or pour calmly into glasses, allowing the wine to oxygenate. After a few minutes in the glass, you will notice how the aromas open up in all their complexity, revealing mineral nuances and toasted notes.
6. Serving
Use wide sparkling wine glasses or tulip-shaped white wine glasses, which enhance the perception of aromas. Pour slowly, so as to preserve the fine and persistent perlage typical of Ferrari. Pair this wine with:
- salmon or tuna dishes;
- delicate risottos;
- white meats or aged cheeses.
Serve slowly, always maintaining the ideal temperature thanks to an ice bucket.
7. Storage after opening
If not consumed entirely, Trento Riserva DOC 'Perlé Rosé' 2016 Magnum - Ferrari (case) can be stored for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. Use a specific airtight stopper for sparkling wines to maintain the pressure and freshness of the bubbles. Avoid exposure to direct light and temperature fluctuations to ensure the wine retains its finesse even after opening.
