The Ferrari non-vintage Brut is produced from both estate vineyard Chardonnay and from growers which Ferrari holds long standing relationships with. The wine is made using metodo classico, spending up to three years maturing in bottle on the less. It’s bristling with mineral intensity, balanced by an attractive note of buttery bakeshop and crispy bread. With more time in the glass, it blossoms to show notes or crushed green apple and white flowers. A fine bead of bubbles coasts across tension-filled textures, as brisk acids bring an inner sweetness to its orchard fruits along with sweet florals, which develop toward the close. The balance here is admirable to say the least, helping to make the non-vintage Brut a remarkable value. Drinking window: 2020 – 2026.
