The Rise of Italian Sparkling Wines: Ferrari Trento’s Journey

Italian sparkling wines have long been a beacon of quality and elegance in the global wine scene, but few brands encapsulate this legacy as well as Ferrari Trento. Founded in 1902 by Giulio Ferrari, the winery has steadily risen to prominence, becoming synonymous with luxury sparkling wines. Under the stewardship of the Lunelli family since 1952, Ferrari has not only maintained its commitment to quality but has also embraced sustainability and innovation.

The brand’s hallmark is its adherence to the traditional Metodo Classico production method, which involves secondary fermentation in the bottle. This meticulous process adds complexity and depth to each wine. Notably, their flagship offerings—the Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore and the Ferrari Perlé range—showcase exceptional craftsmanship. As Matteo Lunelli, President & CEO of Ferrari Trento, eloquently states, “Our wines are a reflection of our heritage and our commitment to excellence.”

Moreover, Ferrari Trento’s strategic partnership with Liberty Wines as their exclusive importer in the UK and Ireland marks a significant milestone. Liberty Wines’ CEO Tom Platt expressed enthusiasm for this collaboration, highlighting how it complements their portfolio of Italian wines while reinforcing their dedication to sustainable practices—a philosophy that resonates deeply within today’s eco-conscious market.

Sustainability at the Heart of Winemaking

In an era where sustainability is paramount, Ferrari Trento stands out as a pioneer within the wine industry. The estate is located in the picturesque foothills of the Dolomites, where they cultivate grapes on 130 hectares of certified organic vineyards. Additionally, they collaborate with over 600 families of grape growers who share their commitment to environmentally friendly practices.

Ferrari’s efforts have earned them both Carbon Neutral and Biodiversity Friend certifications, showcasing their dedication to protecting the environment while producing world-class wines. As Cyril Brun, chef de cave at Ferrari since June 2023 and an experienced winemaker from Champagne, asserts: “Sustainability is not just a trend; it’s a necessity for future generations.” His leadership brings fresh perspectives to Trentodoc sparkling wines, ensuring that each bottle reflects both tradition and innovation.

This commitment extends beyond vineyard management; it encompasses every aspect of production. For instance, all Ferrari wines undergo rigorous secondary fermentation under strict regulations that guarantee quality and authenticity. The result? A range of sparkling wines that are not only delicious but also crafted with respect for nature.
