0.75l bottle.
GIULIO FERRARI FOUNDER'S RESERVE 2008 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. He is consecrated by an uninterrupted succession of prizes and recognitions in Italy, where he has won the Gambero Rosso "Three glasses" more than twenty times, and abroad, where he has obtained the highest scores from the most authoritative sector magazines including 98/ 100 from Decanter and 97/100 from Wine Advocate.
Vintage 2008
2008 was a year characterized by temperatures and rainfall above the seasonal averages. Precipitation was particularly intense in the spring and early summer, making the phytosanitary campaign challenging. In August the stable and sunny weather allowed good ripening of the grapes, combined with a very interesting aromatic profile.
Tasting notes
Its visual appearance is enchanting, highlighting a golden yellow hue slowly crossed by a very fine and very persistent perlage once it reaches the surface of the glass. Its olfactory debut highlights a kaleidoscope of aromas that start from apricot and pineapple to get to honey, from freshly baked apple pie to cinnamon, to reach buttery and mountain herb notes with subsequent oxygenation in the glass . When entering the mouth, it amazes with the incredible richness of the aromas and the delicacy of the bubbles, which caresses and envelops the palate thanks to a perfectly integrated freshness. The finish is savory and very long. A multifaceted, noble and satisfying wine.
