GIULIO FERRARI FOUNDER'S RESERVE 2009 TRENTODOC
The icon par excellence of Italian bubbles, Giulio Ferrari is a champion capable of winning the challenge against time. It is a Trentodoc obtained from the best Chardonnay grapes coming from the Lunelli family vineyards on the slopes of the mountains that frame Trento, up to 600 meters above sea level. It refines on the yeasts for over 10 years, acquiring great complexity but at the same time maintaining balance, freshness and elegance. It is consecrated by an uninterrupted succession of prizes and recognitions in Italy, where it has won the Gambero Rosso "Three glasses" 24 times , and abroad, where it has obtained the highest scores from the most authoritative sector magazines including 98/100 from Decanter and 97/100 from Wine Advocate.
Vintage 2009
The winter was particularly harsh and characterized by abundant rainfall. However, the delay with which the growing season started was immediately made up for thanks to a very warm spring which brought the development of the vines back to average values already during flowering and fruit set. The good temperature variations during the summer, with temperatures even above seasonal averages, led to a harvest of perfectly healthy and aromatically rich grapes.
Tasting notes
The appearance in the glass highlights golden reflections and a perlage of great persistence and refinement.
The olfactory onset is intense and immediately recalls floral notes of jasmine, but also of quince, blonde orange and gingerbread. Tasting only confirms the great richness that the aromas reveal. The sip is creamy but vibrant at the same time, made interminable by a pleasant iodine rush. The finish returns to notes of delicate spices and exotic fruit which lengthen the persistence and once again underline its extraordinary nobility.
