Trento DOC "Bruno Lunelli" 2006 Ferrari in the box

The second vintage of the Riserva that Ferrari Trento dedicates to the founder of the Lunelli family is a collector's bottle born from the sextraordinary harvest 2006. It is the result of rigorous selection work of the plots from which to draw the best mountain Chardonnay, a masterful assembly and 16 years of refinement. This great Reserve marks the hundredth anniversary of the birth of the visionary entrepreneur Bruno Lunelli. It stands out for the particular shape of the bottle with a convex bottom, combined with the first NFT of the House, a candidate to become the perfect synthesis of its founding values, such as loyalty to its roots and constant innovation.

• The 2006 vintage: The 2006 vintage, characterized by an alternation of atmospheric events as particular as they were unexpected, gives this Trento DOC a unique personality, just like that of Bruno Lunelli who, courageously, traced the path of successes for Casa Ferrari. The prolonged cold of winter postponed the vegetative recovery of the vines by about two weeks, but an exceptionally hot and dry climate between the end of spring and the beginning of summer allowed us to recover part of the delay at the beginning of the year. In August, abundant rains lowered the temperatures and restored the plants' water reserves. The Chardonnay grown in the mountain vineyards of Casa Ferrari has achieved a notable aromatic richness and an excellent level of health, preserved by the favorable weather trend during the harvest phase, which began in the last days of August.
• Tasting: Complex, deep, mature and at the same time light, with a generous and very persistent perlage, this signature sparkling wine creates a subtle bond between strength and finesse. With an intense and precious golden hue, accompanied by a fine, generous and long-lasting perlage, it conquers with the harmony of its aromas, in perfect balance with each other. Toasted, saline and spicy notes emerge, followed by yellow fruit, citrus, candied fruit, hints of saffron, anise and quince. And again, without stopping, it offers notes of ginger, turmeric, resinous and balsamic final hints, for a bouquet of great complexity and depth. Broad and light on the palate, but also with great energy and balance, thanks to a dosage that is never invasive, always harmonious, this Trentodoc has a strong tactile richness in taste. The finish is persistent, balanced, precise, intense. Strong reference to the olfactory sensations of yellow fruit, broom and the great sweetness of the raw material, which derives from the perfect maturity of the Chardonnay
