Giulio Ferrari Spumante Riserva del Fondatore 2012

„This is a special wine that raises the bar very high for all Italian sparkling wines. The 2008 Trento Metodo Classico Extra Brut Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore (disgorged in 2020) walks a careful line between elegance and power. The wine ages on the lees for an outstanding 10 years and emerges with a silky texture and finely tuned aromas of apricot, Golden Delicious apple, honey, pie crust and crushed dolomitic quartz. This fine and elegant sparkler spreads evenly over the palate with fine beading and a creamy texture. The cool 2008 vintage is poised to take on more weight and intensity with time.”

„This shows a beautiful bead of bubbles that caress your palate like cashmere. Aromas of cooked apple, sweet pastry dough, almonds and candied lemons. Medium to full body. Delicious fruit and fresh underneath. Aged for about 10 years on the lees. Dry finish. Drink or hold.”

„Grapes from the family's southwest-facing Maso Pianizza vineyard at around 600m above sea level are matured on the lees for more than 10 years – this 2010 was disgorged in 2022. Alpine flowers mingle with lanolin and honey scents, while the steely-fresh palate combines stone fruit and orange peel with patisserie and spice. The long finish showcases juicy lime and white peach. Still quite youthful, you're best leaving this alone for several more years.”

„This 100% Chardonnay, sourced from high-altitude vineyards, undergoes extended aging for unparalleled complexity. The nose is a symphony of ripe yellow fruit, honey, and toasted almonds, while the palate reveals a creamy texture, balanced by vibrant acidity and a mineral backbone. The fine, persistent bubbles and seemingly endless finish make this Riserva an unforgettable experience, showcasing the heights of Ferrari's winemaking prowess.”

„Intensiv leuchtendes Orangerosa mit filigranster Perlage. In der Nase zart nach frischer Orangenzeste, frischer Himbeere, dazu leicht salzige und jodige Töne, sowie florale Anklänge, kompakt zusammengefügt und mit dezentem Ausdruck. Am Gaumen von großer Meisterhand, frisch, ausgewogen, sehr komplex und zugleich leichtfüßig, strahlend, schwingt sich elegant über die Zunge, salzig, pur, lange, in ein paar Jahren noch besser.”
