Every new vintage of Giulio Ferrari is awaited with eager anticipation; after all, how could anyone not fall in love with a masterpiece? Mauro Lunelli created Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore in the 1970s with a very clear idea: to produce excellence.<\/p>\n

A sparkling wine that stays in your heart and mind and that, today, it almost feels wrong to call merely a sparkling wine. Too simple for Giulio Ferrari: Riserva del Fondatore goes beyond space and time; it is the sublime raised to perfection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Among the finest sparkling wines in the world, it is the best cuv\u00e9e from the house of Ferrari. <\/p>\n

Made from Chardonnay grapes from the Maso Panizza vineyards, Giulio Ferrari comes from an exceptional site at around 600 metres above sea level, where the climate is ideal. The soil is mainly stony and largely sandy, with gravel and clay. The maximum yield of the vines is 1.5 kg per plant. After being picked by hand, the grapes set out on a long journey in which time is master: it takes ten years of maturation on selected yeasts to achieve the result in the bottle.<\/p>\n

As with every great wine, Giulio Ferrari is the privilege of the finest vintages alone<\/strong>. The 2008 had been talked about for a while; it was the big release everyone was waiting for in 2020, and it is online!<\/p>\n

Giulio Ferrari 2008<\/h2>\n

Giulio Ferrari 2008<\/a> is pure finesse in its perlage, combined with a splendid bright yellow colour. There is no denying it: once again Riserva del Fondatore delivers. Grandeur and nobility merge in the boldness of a sparkling wine that is not afraid to age and, after more than ten years, returns to thrill those who can appreciate its every nuance.<\/p>\n

Once again Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore offers an elegant, balanced, full and sumptuous palate. A sparkling wine that never stops surprising<\/strong>, with an exceptional aromatic profile that envelops the nose in a wide array of notes, from floral to sweeter tones, reaching as far as toasty ones.<\/p>\n

The pursuit of perfection at all costs is revealed in a depth that allows the taster to enjoy every single trait while becoming part of a unique story: the story of why Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore exists.<\/p>\n

The Giulio Ferrari legend<\/h2>\n

As is well known, Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore is a tribute to the founder of the winery<\/strong>, who chose Bruno Lunelli as his heir. Much has been written about Giulio Ferrari’s strong personality, his foresight and willpower, but above all about his obsessive attention to quality, the same attention later pursued by the Lunelli family.<\/p>\n

The idea of producing a sparkling wine that would spend at least eight years on the lees came from Mauro Lunelli, an innovation for the 1970s, a time when such wines were usually matured for about four months. Only a few thousand bottles were made, using nothing but the finest Chardonnay grapes.<\/p>\n

Riserva del Fondatore made its debut on the market 15 years after Giulio Ferrari’s death. To this day it bears the clear imprint of a visionary man, a pioneer of the sector, a lover of his land and his roots who had the courage to experiment without forgetting tradition.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore embodies a dream<\/strong>, that of a man who never stopped believing in the power of his own ideas. An ambition brought to the glass by the Lunelli family, which has now become the dream of many wine lovers too.<\/p>\n

With Giulio Ferrari 2008 we get to live it all over again!<\/strong><\/p>\n
