The wine in this vintage

Cool and classic in style, 2008 was a particularly favourable year for sparkling wine in Trentino, with slow ripening that preserved acidity and aromatic finesse. Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore 2008 draws from it a profile of great elegance: citrus, golden apple, white flowers, hazelnut, bread crust and a distinct mineral vein. The palate is taut and chiselled, with a very fine mousse and a long, saline finish. Robert Parker rated it 96 points. Thanks to its freshness, this vintage continues to evolve slowly: it gives great pleasure today but can rest in the cellar for a long time yet.

The producer · Ferrari

Founded in Trento in 1902 by Giulio Ferrari, the house that bears his name lies at the origin of Italy's great traditional-method sparkling wine tradition. Ferrari, who had trained in France, was the first to recognise Trentino's affinity for Chardonnay and for wines refermented in bottle. Having no heirs, in 1952 he sold the business to Bruno Lunelli, a Trentino wine merchant, whose children and grandchildren turned it into one of Europe's most prestigious sparkling wine houses while keeping it firmly family-run. The grapes come from the hills and valleys of Trentino, where altitude, wide temperature swings and mountain soils bring acidity and aromatic finesse. The estate has also committed firmly to sustainable viticulture. At the top of the range sits Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore, a pure Chardonnay from the Maso Pianizza vineyard aged for many years on its lees, regarded as one of Italy's greatest sparkling wines and able to defy time like few others.
