Ferrari 'Maximum' Blanc de Blancs NV
The Ferrari 'Maximum' Blanc de Blancs NV is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes planted on the slopes of the Dolomite mountains around the city of Trento. They are grown by around 600 families of vine growers that have worked for generations with the Lunelli family and follow the Ferrari sustainable practice protocol aided by the Ferrari agronomist team. At the winery, after the first fermentation in stainless steel vats, the wines underwent malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity and improve texture. The cuvée was bottled and yeast from the Ferrari own strain selection was added for secondary fermentation. The wine is aged on lees for an average of 2 years before disgorgement and dosage. Light straw yellow in colour with a fine perlage. It shows pleasant fruit aromas with hints of bread crust and hazelnut. The palate is elegant with a very persistent velvety texture with a light fruity note of ripe apples, pleasant hints of yeast and sweet almonds and a faintly aromatic quality that is typical of Chardonnay.
