100% from grapes Chardonnay, the Julius Ferrari Collection ages for 18 years on its own yeasts and comes from a unique vineyard, that of Maso Pianizza, located at high altitude, surrounded by pristine forests and a symbol of the mountain viticulture of which Giulio Ferrari, over a century ago, sensed the potential for the birth of a great Metodo Classico. The 2004, fourth vintage produced, was characterized by particularly favorable weather and a cool summer, which allowed the Chardonnay to achieve perfect connotations for long aging. Presented at Villa Crespi, with a specially designed menu by chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo, the Giulio Ferrari Collezione 2004 was made in only 3906 numbered bottles (75cl) and 331 Magnums. Extra note: the purchase of this bottle gives access to the exclusive Giulio Collectors Club Ferrari, which offers members a range of special experiences and privileges.
Tasting Notes: A pure gold goblet, it is an explosion of very fine bubbles that ignite a nose with refined tones of white flowers, then sweet fruity notes of rennet apple and candied citron, sublimated by balsamic, spicy and iodine nuances. Tasting special, complex, harmonious in its citrus returns and gentle in its dried fruit roastiness, it is underpinned by an intact salinity that leads to a finish that stretches endlessly.
Pairings: Appetizers, fish, shellfish, cheeses, desserts, aged cheese.
