Ferrari Trento, a name synonymous with Italian excellence and sparkling wine mastery, has been selected as the official sparkling wine for Formula 1®. This partnership celebrates the convergence of two worlds dedicated to precision, performance, and elegance.
A Manifesto for Tradition
Ferrari Trento’s Blanc de Blanc Brut, a Trentodoc crafted exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes, epitomises the synergy between the mountainous terroirs of Trentino and meticulous winemaking. Since its first vintage in 1902, this sparkling wine has garnered numerous accolades, establishing itself as a benchmark in the world of luxury beverages. But positioned as a more affordable option, this low-cost Blanc de Blanc is a perfect any day choice.
Tasting Notes
The Blanc de Blanc Brut boasts a lively, bright straw yellow hue with fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it presents a fresh and intense bouquet, characterised by broad fruity notes of ripe Golden Delicious apples, white flowers, and a delicate yeast scent. This complexity is derived from its 20 months of aging on the lees. The palate is harmonious and well-balanced, with subtle hints of ripe fruit and crusty bread, making it a quintessential Italian aperitivo wine.
Production Excellence
The dedication to quality begins with hand-harvested Chardonnay from the most suitable areas of Trentino. The wine undergoes a specific aging process and meticulous vinification in steel tanks, culminating in an alcohol content of 12.5% vol. Ferrari Trento’s adherence to traditional methods, coupled with modern innovation, ensures that each bottle reflects the pristine environment from which it originates.
A Century of Prestige
The legacy of Ferrari Trento began with Giulio Ferrari’s dream of creating a wine that could compete with the best French Champagnes. This vision was realised through substantial plantings of Chardonnay in Italy and an unwavering commitment to quality. In 1952, Bruno Lunelli took the helm, expanding production while maintaining the brand’s prestigious standards. Today, the third generation of the Lunelli family continues to elevate Ferrari Trento’s reputation on the global stage.
A Celebration of Excellence
Ferrari Trento’s partnership with Formula 1® is a testament to its status as Italy’s most awarded sparkling wine producer. This collaboration highlights Ferrari Trento’s role in celebrating moments of triumph and elegance. The special Jeroboam bottle dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Ayrton Senna’s passing at the Grand Prix del Made in Italy e dell’Emilia-Romagna 2024 underscores this commitment. Proceeds from the auction of this commemorative bottle will benefit the Instituto Ayrton Senna, further solidifying Ferrari Trento’s dedication to meaningful causes.
Sustainability and Innovation
Ferrari Trento’s vineyards are organically certified, reflecting a profound respect for the environment. Sustainable practices, such as the use of green manure and a ban on chemical herbicides, underpin the winery’s approach to viticulture. This commitment has earned Ferrari Trento the “Biodiversity Friend” certificate, highlighting its role in promoting a healthy and sustainable mountain winemaking industry.
The Art of Living
Ferrari Trento embodies the Italian art of living, combining natural elegance with a passion for beauty and excellence. Each bottle of Ferrari Trento sparkling wine offers a unique experience, a testament to the brand’s meticulous attention to detail from vineyard to table. As the official toast of Formula 1®, Ferrari Trento continues to inspire and captivate, celebrating the finest moments in life and sport with unparalleled sophistication.
