Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore 2010: A Masterpiece from Cantine Ferrari

The supreme icon of Italian bubbles, the Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore is an oenological masterpiece that defies time. This Trento DOC is produced with the best Chardonnay grapes, harvested in the vineyards owned by the Lunelli family, located on the slopes of the mountains surrounding Trento, up to 600 meters above sea level. The wine ages on the lees for over a decade, acquiring complexity without losing its balance, freshness and elegance. Its superlative quality is demonstrated by a continuous series of prizes and awards both in Italy and abroad, including 24 victories from the "Three glasses" from Gambero Rosso, 98/100 from Decanter and 97/100 from Wine Advocate.

Vintage 2010

The 2010 vintage was characterized by above-average rainfall, but with a regular temperature trend. The summer began with generous rainfall, followed by a hot and dry July. The abundant rains fell in August, allowing for a period of stable and breezy weather in the first half of September, which was crucial for the sparkling bases. The grapes have reached maturity with excellent acidity and aromatic complexity.

Tasting notes

The visual impact of the Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore is remarkable, thanks to its bright golden yellow color, highlighted by a very fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is rich and layered, with notes of apricot and exotic fruit that blend with more complex aromas of white chocolate, dried fruit, almond candy, zabaglione cream, delicate pastry and light toasted notes. On the palate, it stands out for its gustatory intensity, characterized by richness, harmony, elegance and balance. The persistence is remarkable, with hints of honey, peanut butter and tropical fruit.
