Medium+ garnet, with a tinge of orange-brown color around the rim. Raspberry and cherry nose, along with that pencil shavings smell. Second hour of air, secondary scents unfolded with some mint, spices and lightly roasted coffee beans. Feels quite Burgundian. Silky tannins. Not much gripping. Mid weight on the palate. Nice acidity; not overly tart. Surprisingly long. The taste lingered for quite a while. 91-92. — 7 years ago

Named after Giulio Ferrari, who made the first Italian traditional method sparkling wine in 1902. Entirely made from Chardonnay and aged on the lees for a minimum of 15 months, the Ferrari NV Brut unfolds precise aromas of white peach, lemon peel, ripe apple and brioche, wrapped in a distinctive smokiness. The crisp acidity provides a firm backbone, giving this medium-bodied Trentodoc a lifting freshness. Drink now. — 3 years ago
Still youthfully dark in color with a very slight browning on rim. Upon opening still very tight and shy on nose. Decided to decant this for 3.5h prior our Christmas dinner and it started to open around 3h mark. Then it was a great Barbaresco from Treiso offering slightly darker side of Nebbiolo expression with ripe cherry, some leather and smoke, fine pepper notes. Healthy acidity and fine tannins offers solid back bone for further aging and development. I take this is 2-3 years from peak and should continue to drink several years after that. Glad I have 2 more bottles. This was a fabulous qpr back then at 23€/bottle — 5 years ago

One of Giulio Gambelli’s many jewels. Pierces you with grace, balance and power. Sangiovese at its best. Can’t have enough of it. — 8 years ago

@Delectable Wine this is the Blanc de Noir*
One of Piedmont’s newest DOCs — for Metodo Classico wines from traditional French varieties. Why should Franciacorta & Trentodoc have all the fun? Great opener to one of best lunches / meals we had in Italy. — 2 years ago
