Trento Spumante Riserva Extra Brut 'Perlé Nero' Magnum Ferrari 2010
Der "Perlé Nero" von der Cantina Ferrari in Magnum-Version ist ein Trento Schaumwein Extra Brut. Der Geruch wird von fruchtigen Aromen kleiner roter Früchte, Annurca-Apfel und gerösteter Haselnuss, mit Noten von Tee und Chinotto auf einem leichten mineralischen Hintergrund geprägt. Am Gaumen ist er üppig, weich und salzig, frisch mit zitrusartigen Noten und langanhaltend.
The Trento DOC Extra Brut “Perlé Nero” is the only Blanc de Noirs from the Ferrari winery, meaning it is the only sparkling wine produced exclusively from red grapes. For the Lunelli family, who now own this prestigious winery, the challenge was precisely this: to translate the power and finesse of Pinot Noir into a Classic Method with the perfect Ferrari style. The chosen dosage is that of Extra Brut, so that the austerity of Pinot Noir is only slightly softened and its soul is left free to express itself at its best in terms of elegance and structure.
The Perlé Nero from Ferrari comes from the most careful selection of Pinot Noir grapes, hand-picked from the best vineyards located in the highest mountainous areas. As is the case for every Classic Method, the production consists of two phases. During the first, the base wine is made through a normal white winemaking process of the grapes; the second phase is that of refermentation in the bottle. At the end of this, the sugar has transformed into alcohol and carbon dioxide. During the resting period in the bottle, the yeasts break down, releasing aromas of bakery and pastry, typical of every Classic Method sparkling wine, and giving it a unique complexity that is always different. In this case, the sparkling wine rests on the lees in the bottle for at least 6 years.
The Perlé Nero Ferrari sparkling wine is a blend of an austere nature and seductive character. Visually, it presents a golden yellow color with a lively and brilliant perlage. Its aroma, accentuated by the movement of the bubbles inside the glass, diversifies into fruity and floral notes, mineral and toasted. On the palate, it is enveloping and silky, but perfectly balanced by freshness and sapidity and enlivened by the refined prickliness of carbon dioxide. The finish is precise and fine, well persistent. Due to the beautiful complexity of aromas and scents, it is hard to detach from the glass, in a Magnum version perfect for sharing.
