Forty years. That's how long it took Ferrari to create the perfect Blanc de Noirs. Perlé Nero Riserva is a challenge within a challenge: to vinify a white spumante from 100% Pinot Nero without forcing the colour extraction, without manipulating the body. The result? Pure elegance. 2016 was a year for purists. A cool, precise vintage that gave the capricious Pinot Nero the structure that great Riserva Spumanti need. The Lunelli family knew that this vintage would make history. In fact, the 2012 Perlé Nero later became World Champion and the 2016 follows in the same tradition.

The first and only Blanc de Noirs in the Ferrari range. The grapes come from the best plots of the family vineyards, where the Pinot Nero has been showing its temperament for decades. In the Trentino mountains, it finds the cool nights that give it the necessary acidity and warm days for aromatic ripeness. Riserva means a lot of time: six years pass while the bottles rest in the Ferrari cellars.

The result is extraordinary: bright, golden reflections, a perlage of rare finesse. A spectacular complexity on the nose – tropical notes meet mineral tones and roasted nuances. There are also delicate hints of peanut butter, which sounds exotic but is typical of mature Pinot Nero. Full-bodied and velvety on the palate, framed by very precise acidity and citrus-like freshness. The final is persistent, exquisitely almondy, almost majestic. A spumante for connoisseurs. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense straw yellow with a golden shimmer, fine, persistent mousseux. Elegantly restrained on the nose, reminiscent of sea breeze, some peach and lemon, followed by crusty bread. Structured and racy on the palate, pleasantly creamy, vibrant acidity, animating, salty finish, good length." Falstaff

"On the palate, this graceful sparkling wine is round and creamy, with a bright acid backbone of citrus and a hint of saltiness, paired with flavours of baked white cherries and toasted almonds, as well as hints of glazed mandarin and lemon thyme." Wine Spectator

"100% Pinot Noir, matured on the lees for six years, elicits aromas of an almost open bakery with fresh croissants and fruitcake just out of the oven. The flavours of honey, cream and roasted almonds quickly follow and tempt you to go further into the glass. The richness is immediate, with baked fruit and lemon zest showing on the palate, while creme fraiche and subtle berry notes emerge on the palate, strutting through to the finish, where pure mountain minerality embraces the palate and brings the wine to the point."
