Ferrari 1996 Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore Chardonnay (Trento)
- $90
Many Italian wine enthusiasts consider this 100% Chardonnay their country’s number one metodo classico sparkler—the wine that sets the bar for all the rest. Yet the 1996 vintage has sparked controversy because of uneven reviews. We, however, loved its complex bouquet of honey, dried laven der, tealeaf, pear, bread crust and unexpected mint-like notes. The mouthfeel…

Ferrari 1997 Giulio Riserva del Fondatore Chardonnay (Trento)
- $90
One of the best vintages yet from one of Italy’s best sparkling wines. The nose is a true knock-out with deep layers of intensity and perfectly seamless aromas: cookie dough, almonds, peppermint ice cream and campfire ash. The flavors unfold delicately in the mouth and are reinforced by persistent pearls of effervescence.

Ferrari 2000 Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore Chardonnay (Trento)
- Cellar Selection
- $90
An Italian classic, Riserva del Fondatore (a brut-style sparkler) offers a compelling nose that is as intense as it is complex. The aromas here span dried fruit and nuts to toast and melted butter. Its appearance is sharp and luminous and the quality of effervescence is both tonic and persistent.

Ferrari 1994 Riserva del Fondatore Brut Sparkling (Trento)
- $75
An excellent sparkler by any measure, with deep, rich aromas of toast, sauteed mushrooms and hint of citrus. Creamy and full-bodied, the flavors expand to include apple and spice notes, finishing elegantly and long.

Ferrari 2001 Perlé Chardonnay (Trento)
- $30
The theme here is dryness with dried apricot, pressed rose petal, banana, dried herbs, tealeaf and pungent toasted and smoky tones. Together this medley of aromas is delicate and caressing on the nose, and equally tender in the mouth. Imported by Dalla Terra.

Ferrari 2004 Perlé Rosé Brut Sparkling (Trento)
- $60
From the distant 2004 vintage, this pink and peach-colored sparkler offers yeasty tones of freshly baked bread and subtle notes of red berries and apricot. The wine is tonic and firm in the mouth with a creamy, foamy aftertaste. Beautiful and delicate.

Ferrari 2001 Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore Chardonnay (Trento)
- Cellar Selection
- $85
A landmark wine for those who love Italian sparklers, this shows loads of ripe apricot, melon and honey notes, with toasted nut and baked bread hints in the background. There are also touches of caramel and butterscotch that help move the wine’s thick and opulent texture across the palate. It ends with refreshing acidity and tonic perlage.
