Giulio Ferrari Magnum 2009 Riserva del Fondatore Ferrari Lt 1.5

Author Cru

It is the signature that designates the best Italian bubbles in the world, able to overcome the challenge of time and consecrate themselves to myth.

COLOR AND PERLAGE

Chardonnay with precious golden hues on a bright yellow.- The perlage is very fine and persistent.

PERFUME

Intense and complex bouquet with distinct minerality, enriched by exotic hints. Perceptions of white chocolate and hazelnut are followed by balsamic notes and precious brushstrokes of spice, beeswax and honey.

TASTE

Fastidious suggestions flow from the creamy, velvety body, with fragrances of acacia honey accompanied by notes of exotic fruit. More than a decade of aging on the lees gives a finish of great complexity, striking elegance and freshness.

2009 vintage

The winter was particularly harsh and characterized by heavy rainfall. The delay with which the growing season started, however, was quickly made up thanks to a very warm spring that brought the development of the vines back to average values already during flowering and fruit set. Good temperature ranges during the summer, with temperatures even above seasonal averages, led to a harvest of perfectly healthy and aromatically rich grapes.

Tasting Notes

The appearance in the goblet shows golden reflections and a perlage of great persistence and refinement.
The olfactory onset is intense and immediately recalls floral notes of jasmine as well as quince, blond orange and gingerbread. Tasting only confirmed the great richness that the aromas hinted at. The sip is creamy yet vibrant at the same time, made interminable by a pleasant iodine surge. The closure returns to notes of delicate spices and exotic fruit that lengthen the persistence and return to underscore its extraordinary nobility.
