Varietal

Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Trentino/Alto Adige

As the name suggests, the northern Italian wine region of Trentino-Alto Adige is made up of two separate areas, with Trento in the south, and the Adige river in the north. There are few parts of Italy quite as alluring for wine fans as Trentino-Alto Adige, as this is an area in which Italian wines become really quite unique and surprising. As the region is nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps, it is quite a long way from the sun drenched islands of the south, or the rolling hillsides of central Italy. Indeed, the wines of Trentino-Alto Adige are packed full of fresh, vibrant alpine flavors and aromas, and are as influenced by the Germanic styles of wine making as they are influenced by those of the Italians, making the wines of this region really quite unusual, and utterly captivating. Wineries in Trentino-Alto Adige use both native and imported grape varietals for their wines, and they are generally considered to be amongst the finest in Italy.

Decanter

Disgorged in May, this last version of Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore will be released in 2021. Tasted at two different dosage levels (2.7 g/l and 1.5 g/l) it shows its best at the lower sugar level because of more fluent drinkability and less obvious fruit flavour. The nose opens wide the doors of a viennoiserie, with gianduia chocolate, caramel mou and toast, but not before fresh aromas of linden tree and orange blossom come through. Pear and Russett apple introduce the creamy lean palate, with Chablis-like acidity and savoury finish. Lingering flavours of salty orange and dried figs.

WE 95pts

Wine Enthusiast

Creamy and boasting complexity, this iconic sparkler offers delicate aromas of white spring flower, white stone fruit and toasted bread crust. On the elegantly sparkling palate, a silky perlage accompanies mature yellow apple, white peach, honey and a hint of lemon drop alongside crisp acidity.

WS 93pts

Wine Spectator

Offers enticing notes of glazed apple and apricot, pastry, vanilla and graham cracker layered with grapefruit peel, almond skin and salty mineral notes, which provide a fine counterpoint for the rich profile. Sleek and harmonious, with a fine, creamy mousse and a long finish of citrus and smoke. Drink now through 2033. 45 cases imported.

Winery Notes

Bright straw-yellow in color with a golden sheen. A highly delicate nose of rare intensity, in which the fruity aroma of the variety and the scent of honey combined with a hint of vanilla and white chocolate, create a perfect harmony of fragrances. An elegant and balanced palate is offered, with a velvety, rich body; flavors of vanilla, acacia blossoms, honey and dry hay are combined with flowery scents; all ensuring that the wine has a noble and lingering finish.
