Ferrari Cuvée Rosé Brut is a non-vintage sparkling rosé from the illustrious Ferrari winery in Trentino-Alto Adige, northern Italy. Made using the traditional method, known locally as Metodo Classico, this wine is composed of a blend of classic grape varieties commonly associated with premium sparkling wines, most notably Pinot Noir, which imparts a subtle structure and red fruit character, and Chardonnay, lending elegance and freshness. The non-vintage designation reflects a style crafted for consistency and balance by blending different parcels and years, ensuring the signature Ferrari style: lively effervescence, delicate berry aromas, and a refined palate with crisp acidity.
Trentino-Alto Adige, nestled in the foothills of the Dolomites, is renowned for its pristine alpine environment. The region enjoys a cool continental climate with significant diurnal temperature variation, which helps grapes to ripen slowly, preserving their natural acidity and aromatic complexity—the perfect conditions for high-quality sparkling wines. The soils here consist predominantly of glacial deposits, rich in minerals, which further contribute to the finesse and vibrancy of the wines. Ferrari, as a producer, has played a pivotal role in establishing Trentino as Italy’s preeminent sparkling wine region since the early 20th century, blending local expertise with inspiration from Champagne.
This rosé’s crisp acidity and delicate red fruit profile make it a superb companion to a wide array of dishes. It pairs wonderfully with seafood, such as salmon tartare or prawn risotto, as well as with smoked trout, a nod to local Trentino cuisine. Charcuterie, particularly speck, and mature cheeses like Asiago also complement its freshness and savoury undertones. For a delightful regional experience, try it alongside canederli (bread dumplings) or light mountain vegetable tarts.
For optimal enjoyment, serve Ferrari Cuvée Rosé Brut chilled, ideally between 6-8°C. Use fluted glasses to highlight its persistent bubbles and elegant bouquet. Enjoy it as an aperitif or throughout the meal for a touch of Italian sparkling sophistication.
