The Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore 1999 (disgorgement 2016) is an icon of Italian Metodo Classico. Produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes from Trentino, this wine rested 17 years on its lees, developing an extraordinary bouquet of dried fruit, honey, and toasted notes. On the palate, it is broad, creamy, with incredible freshness and persistence, offering an unforgettable and highly complex tasting experience.
