Subtle at first, this complex sparkling wine evokes aromas of toasted hazelnuts, candied lemon, baking spices and toasted oak.

The 2015 Extra Brut Ferrari Riserva Lunelli wafts up from the glass with a sweetly seductive mix of ginger and cinnamon spice, complementing baked apple and pear. This washes across the palate with cooling minerality, as tart orchard fruits and notes of raw almond resonate throughout. The finish is long and full of zesty tension, keeping the mouth watering with notes of sour lime and a salty flourish that lingers on and on. This is already showing beautifully today, but it has a bright future. (L 22096/601, June 2022)

Deep yellow, with pale golden highlights. The perlage is extremely fine and persistent. On the nose, fruity and rich, with complex aromas and a broad, enveloping structure. Its period of ageing in large Austrian oak casks gives it a varied rainbow of sensations that win you over with their originality. Multi-faceted in its expressiveness, it offers a perfect balance of varietal sensations, of toasty yeastiness and spices. The maturation in oak gives added harmony and richness. The finish displays great intensity and persistence.

Overview
The 2015 Ferrari Riserva Lunelli is 100% Chardonnay, disgorged in 2022 and made in the Extra Brut style. Pale lemon-gold in color, it slips gracefully from the glass with notes of honey toast, marzipan, and orange blossoms leading to a core of fresh yellow apples and Bosc pears with a touch of chalk dust. The palate delivers impressive restraint, with soft-spoken apple and croissant flavors and a minerally undercurrent, finishing with a persistent chalky whisper.

Varietal: Champagne Blend

Whilst Champagne sparkling wines are most commonly made with a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grape varietals, there are actually seven fine grape varietals allowed by French wine law for inclusion in the wines of this region. These include Arbanne, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and and Petit Meslier alongside the others, although these four are being used less and less in the modern age. Champagnes are normally blended wines, although the popularity of single variety 'blanc de blanc' Champagnes made solely with Chardonnay grapes, and 'blanc de noir' wines made only with Pinot Noir varietal grapes are becoming more and more popular. The blending process found in most Champagnes aims to take the finest points of each grape varietal and bring them together to produce spectacular, strong yet balanced results in the bottle.

Region: Trentino/Alto Adige

There are few wine regions in Italy which generate quite as much intrigue and excitement amongst wine lovers as that of Trentino-Alto Adige. Situated in the northernmost borders of the country, Trentino-Alto Adige is a wine region quite unlike any other in Italy. With a range of influences from Germany, Lombardy and Venezia, the wines of Trentino-Alto Adige tend to be quite different from those found elsewhere in Italy, and are often considered to be the country's finest produce. The region is an alpine one, and the flavors of the Alps are often detected in Trentino-Alto Adige's finest white wines – all fresh, crystal waters and resiny aromas – whilst the red wines are generally deep and spicy, and perfect for a range of cuisines.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
