Ferrari Brut Trentodoc Magnum

Attractive aromas and flavors of lime, lemon and cooked apple. Hints of cream too. Full to medium body, bright acidity and a fresh finish. Always an outstanding Italian sparkling wine. Disgorged in 2014. Drink now.

Here is a classic Italian metodo classico sparkling wine that you can count on for a long list of drinking occasions. The non-vintage Trento Brut is luminous and bright with measured intensity that hits all the right buttons. The wine delivers on its promise, although it takes no big risks either. The bouquet shows yellow fruit, citrus and baked bread. There are also very Italian notes of sage and dried herb that link the wine to a romantic sense of place. It is aged in stainless steel and ages on the lees for two years.

Scents of mature orchard fruit, fresh bread dough and citrus lead the way on this delightful sparkler. The bright palate delivers pear, apple, lime and a hint of pastry cream alongside lively acidity. It closes crisp and clean.

Fresh and balanced, with a fine, lacy bead and a streak of salinity underscoring the Asian pear, ground ginger, hazelnut and lemon zest notes. Very drinkable.
