Trento Riserva Brut DOC Perlé Rosé 2018 Ferrari

What kind of wine it is

Perlé Rosé by Ferrari is a refined Trento sparkling wine made primarily from Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay. This wine is crafted following the Traditional Method, which involves bottle refermentation that helps shape its character. It ages for at least five years on the lees, a period that imparts a dry texture, structure, and elegance. The profile combines fruity and spicy notes, supported by a long-lasting savoriness.

Where it comes from

The grapes for this cuvée are selected from vineyards lying on the hills around Trento. This altitude defines an ideal microclimate that ensures the grapes achieve the perfect balance. The identity of this sparkling wine is deeply rooted in its mountainous terroir, a setting that enhances the grape varieties used. Its origin translates into a precise and orderly expression.

How it is made

The production process begins in September with a manual harvest of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay bunches. After vinification, the base wine is bottled for the second fermentation, a crucial step in the Traditional Method. The bottles rest for at least five years on the lees, a phase that shapes the wine’s aromatic depth and tasting structure.

Tasting notes

The bouquet is intense and refined, featuring scents of redcurrant, wild strawberries, and raspberries, enhanced by hints of orange, rose, and cumin. On the palate, it offers excellent structure and a distinctly dry impression, with spicy undertones and notes of sweet almond and yeast, finishing with a long persistence.

Food pairings

Thanks to its balanced profile and dry finish, this label is an excellent choice for aperitifs, cured meats, and pizza. At the table, its structure enhances fish dishes and delicate seafood preparations. The interplay between the fruity freshness of the wine and the savoriness of the food creates a harmonious pairing, ideal also for enhancing sushi and sashimi with a coherent match.

When to serve it

This label elevates convivial moments, from aperitif to dinner, always ensuring an elegant style. The extended time spent on the lees makes it suitable for occasions that call for a glass with distinct aromas and marked complexity. Perfect for a seafood menu, it retains a natural versatility even in informal settings, while fully expressing its aromatic precision.
