Ferrari F1 MIAMI m. gaveæske Brut Trentodoc

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. Drink now.

An Italian classic and a terrific value, the Ferrari NV Trento Brut is all Chardonnay that opens to crystalline luminosity and brilliance. The bouquet is straightforward and confident, delivering a clear and precise message of good cheer and easy-drinking appeal. There are notes of citrus, white peach, breakfast pastry and drying notes of crushed mineral. This is the quintessential Italian aperitivo wine.

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.

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.

Distinctly savory, the NV Brut Trentodoc opens with a blend of dusty dried flowers, cardamom and freshly sliced pears. It fills the palate with a silken bead of fine bubbles, taking on a salty-to-sweet sensation as tactile mineral tones mix with ripe orchard fruits. This finishes with admirable length and candied citrus twang, tapering off remarkably fresh. I love the balance and complexity here, especially for a Non-vintage Brut. Disgorged: 2023.
