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

"Intense golden yellow colour, fine bubbles and persistent in the glass. Initially a nose of cold smoke, toasted black bread crust, ripe Golden Delicious apple, intense and powerful. Also on the palate with plenty of pressure on supporting acidity through to the slightly saline finish." Falstaff

"The 2019 Trentodoc Brut Perlé is savory and intense, with a burst of dried florals and crushed rocks complicating ginger-spiked green apples. It displays an elegant bead of fine bubbles and citrus-infused pit fruits offset by a savory tinge of raw almond. Long and full of character, the 2019 leaves the mouth watering as nuances of dried apricot fade." Vinous

"In the skilled hands of the Lunelli family, precision meets pleasure. This wine stands tall like the mountains themselves, powerful yet graceful. Rich flavors gather before taut acidity parts them, revealing pure mountain sunlight. A serious wine that remembers joy is part of greatness. Each vintage shows why Ferrari stands among Italy's most revered sparkling producers." Wine Enthusiast
