The name alone reveals the poetry of this vintage sparkling wine. For decades, Perlé has been considered the essence of Ferrari's art, born from a meticulous selection of the best Chardonnay grapes from the Trentino mountains. The grapes for this Millesimato come from altitudes between 300 and 600 metres. Here, where the vines are bathed in mountain sunshine throughout the day but rest at night in the cool mountain air, the Chardonnay develops the mineral depth and aromatic complexity that makes Perlé so unmistakable. The Lunelli family only selects the very best batches – the grapes that most purely reflect the terroir. Perlé matures for almost five years on the fine yeasts – an exceptionally patient maturation period that gives the sparkling wine its characteristic creaminess and delicate yeast notes that harmonise perfectly with the fruity elegance of the Chardonnay.

Delicate straw yellow with golden reflections in the glass, the perlage is exceptionally fine and persistent. The bouquet captivates with expressive vigour: aromas of Renette apples and citrus fruits blend with notes of white peaches, almond blossom and toasted tones. Elegant and harmonious on the palate, it reveals the unmistakable aromatic depth of Chardonnay. The slightly almondy, extraordinarily persistent final is the result of long ageing on the lees. A spumante of consummate elegance and, alongside a high-quality aperitif, the perfect accompaniment to many light Mediterranean dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"Subtle warm light yellow colour; intense nose, bread and subtle red berry[1] notes, delicate ripeness, inviting; supple foam, round, fine depth, dry, fine, beautiful." JLF Merum

"In the glass, the Trentodoc Perlé 2018 is delicate and nuanced. In its inviting bouquet, traces of nectarine mingle with sweet smoke and camomile. It is round and elegant, with a bead of silky bubbles and ripe pome fruit underscored by a hint of tropical citrus. The 2018 leaves a hint of green melon that pinches the cheeks, along with a minty freshness, and finishes long and remarkably fresh." Vinous

"The Ferrari 2018 Trento Metodo Classico Perlé Brut Riserva has a fine and delicate bouquet with citrusy favors, pear and Golden Delicious apple. There is a pretty smoothness to this wine that makes for a good contrast against its bright acidity and its fine beading." Wine Advocate

"This wine is bursting with energy and exudes aromas of green apple, white peach and a hint of citrus blossom. Vibrant flavours of lemon zest, Granny Smith apples and a subtle hint of brioche make for a palate-pleaser. The wine's crisp acidity and lively bubbles make for a refreshing finish that leaves you wanting more." Wine Enthusiast

"An aromatic combination of grapefruit and golden apple with pie crust and almonds. In the mouth, the fruit dominates, while the long maturation on the lees gives it roundness and additional layers. Tart on the finish, it is still developing and will age well in the bottle." Decanter
