Wineries / Trentino-Alto Adige
Ferrari was founded in Trento in 1902. Giulio Ferrari was the first to plant Chardonnay extensively in Italy, and in 1906 he won the gold medal at the International Exhibition in Milan. Bruno Lunelli acquired the company in 1952, when it produced 9,000 bottles. Villa Margon, a 16th century villa, became the group's representative headquarters in 1990.
The wines are all Metodo Classico, made from only two grapes, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, grown on the slopes of the Trentino mountains. Chef de Cave Cyril Brun leads a team of 10 oenologists.
The estate-owned vineyards hold Biodiversity Friend certification, and in 2022, the company's 120th anniversary year, Ferrari Trento achieved Carbon Neutrality certification.
Not tasted yet
I haven't reviewed a wine from Ferrari yet. They're on my Top 100 list, which is built from awards.
