## Wine making process

Ferrari Brut is produced using the Metodo Classico, involving a second fermentation in the bottle. The 100% Chardonnay grapes are hand-harvested from high-altitude vineyards in Trentino. The wine undergoes an extended aging period on its lees, typically for at least 20 months, which contributes to its development of complex flavors and a fine perlage. The producer employs sustainable farming methods in their vineyards.
