The charm of VINTAGE WINES, a toast to the excellence of unique vintages!

Do you know what vintage wines are?

In the world of wine, vintage wines represent a special category, linked to concepts of excellence and tradition.

A vintage wine indicates that the entire production comes from a single year, usually considered particularly favorable. This means that all the grapes used were harvested in the same year, thus ensuring consistency in the character and taste of the wine. So we are talking about bubbles that aim for a deep and intense experience.

Millesimatos are generally considered to be of superior quality; an example is the Trento Brut Millesimato Doc Perlé by Ferrari . This winery produces high-level bubbles, but when we talk about their Millesimato, we are referring to a high-quality Trento Doc, obtained only from selected Chardonnay grapes.

But what are the distinctive characteristics of vintage wines?

The main one is undoubtedly the excellence of the vintage: optimal climatic conditions, with a perfect combination of sun, rain and temperature, allow the wine to faithfully reflect the vintage of production. Each vintage is a celebration of those unique and unrepeatable conditions.

This uniqueness is also reflected in the consistency of the taste: the homogeneity of the harvest translates into an aromatic profile rich in nuances, which tells the essence of that specific year, creating truly unique pieces in the bottle.

Vintage wines are therefore of superior quality, as confirmed by their ability to age, which allows them to develop complex and deep aromas over time. A vintage wine represents a quality choice and demonstrates the producer's confidence in the specific vintage: a journey through time, an unforgettable memory of the year in which the grapes were grown and harvested. It is no wonder that vintage wines are among the most sought after by connoisseurs.

In Italy, one of the most famous vintages is the Trento Brut Millesimato Doc Perlé by Ferrari , a Classic Method produced exclusively with Chardonnay grapes, which rests for 60 months on the yeasts, offering complexity and aromas of incredible elegance.

Ferrari's Perlé best encapsulates the art and elegance of this winery, a sparkling wine that, like few others, manages to express an elegant gustatory phrasing in a unique crescendo.

A wonderful, seductive and elegant wine, with a velvety and persistent sensation, characterized by light fruity notes. It combines quality and passion, the one transmitted by Giulio Ferrari to the Lunelli Brothers, current owners, and the Trentino terroir, known for its minerality and a perfect microclimate.
