Ferrari
Brut Trento DOC Chardonnay
Trento, Trentino, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
Distinctly savory, the NV Brut Trentodoc opens with a blend of dusty dried flowers, cardamom and freshly sliced pears. It fills the palate with a silken bead of fine bubbles, taking on a salty-to-sweet sensation as tactile mineral tones mix with ripe orchard fruits. This finishes with admirable length and candied citrus twang, tapering off remarkably fresh. I love the balance and complexity here, especially for a Non-vintage Brut. Disgorged: 2023. (Lot# 23093/24E) (Eric Guido, Vinous, December 2023)

Swooped this up in hopes that Ferrari would win at Monza. Unfortunately, the MV33/RB18 combo is just too strong this year. Anyway, I’ve been watching the drivers spray this stuff on the podium over the last couple years so I figured I would give it a try. Popped and poured; no formal notes. Mousse dissipates. Leesy and a little cheesy on the nose. Lemons, limes, nuts and minerals. Decent acid. Thought I’d be down on this but it’s pretty decent. Particularly for the sub-$20 price at Eataly.

Founded in 1902 by Giulio Ferrari. 100% Chardonnay, pale lemon yellow with aromas of stone fruit, floral spice and yeasty notes. On the palate apple and pear flavors, crisp, bright acidity with zesty citrus character. Long fresh ending with nice yeasty balance!

Something about the label seems too simple...needs a new one to represent the class juice inside. Very good. - Meyer lemon, pear, chalk, bright.

🏅 Rating 87+/100 (3,75🌟)
Bit of toast, apples, citrus, yeasty. Steely mineral. Quite edgy, because of recent disgorgement.
This NV is on par with many basic NV Champagnes I can think of. And even maybe leaving those Traditional Bruts behind.
I like this one is Blanc de Blancs. Value for the money is crazy and leaving no choice for the alternative at this price tag.
