Ferrari Perlé Rosé Trento Riserva

Packaged with a black label, the Ferrari 2014 Trento Metodo Classico Riserva Perlé Rosé Brut opens to a raspberry pink color and a lively appearance that is enhanced by fine beading and a pretty sparkle of light that shines from deep within the wine. This is a generous, medium-bodied Metodo Classico made from a blend of 80% Pinot Nero and 20% Chardonnay that is aged in bottle for five long years. It presents delicate aromas of wild berry, blue flower, toasted bread and a lifted note of dried mint or mountain herb that appears at the very end.

The 2012 Trento Metodo Classico Riserva Perlé Rosé Brut is a blend of 80% Pinot Nero and 20% Chardonnay aged in bottle for at least five years. The wine shows a pale pink color that is luminous and bright. The Pinot Nero fruit comes from vineyards that reach up to 700 meters in altitude. This firm-bodied sparkling wine shows an especially smooth and silky entry to the palate.

Plenty of candied orange and dried cherry on the nose, then a generous, crisp palate make a bold statement. Quite some complexity at the finish and enough acidity to keep this bright and lively. Chardonnay and pinot noir. Drink now.

Striking orange pink colour! A little leesy and stalky/savoury on the nose with lemon notes and with hints of raspberry underneath. Quite captivating. A lively sparkle shoots through the lemony raspberry fruit. Refreshing and invigorating and much better than many a Franciacorta or champagne. Long, lemony finish with lasting sparkle. Strange colour, though.
