GIULIO FERRARI RISERVA DEL FONDATORE 2009

The most famous sparkling wine of all, the one that designates the best Italian bubbles in the world, able to win the challenge of time and consecrate itself to the myth. A 100% Chardonnay from the legendary cru of Maso Pianizza, whose maturation on the lees lasts almost 10 years before a further stop in the bottle. Ferrari's Trento DOC “Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore” is a classic method capable of overcoming the challenge of time, capable of going beyond all expectations. A myth.

The 2009 vintage
The winter was particularly cold and characterised by abundant rainfall.
However, the delay in the start of the vegetative cycle was immediately
recovered thanks to a very hot spring that brought the data regarding the
development of the vines back to normal, even by the time of flowering and
fruit set. Notable thermal excursions during the summer, with temperatures
even higher than the seasonal average, led to a harvest of grapes that were
perfectly healthy and rich in aromatic components.
