Ferrari Spumante

Ferrari Spumante is a brand of Italian sparkling wine, manufactured in Trento since 1902, by Cantine Ferrari.

History

Giulio Ferrari was born on 9 April 1879. In 1902 Giulio Ferrari decided to make sparkling wine in Italy with same method of champagne.[1] The metodo Ferrari is essentially the same as le methode Champenoise,[2] with the wine being aged for four to five years,[3] though being Italian, the product cannot be called Champagne.

On 1952, Giulio Ferrari was old and tired and he had no children, so he chose Bruno Lunelli (1907-1973 who owned a shop of wines in Trento) to carry on the winery, also because Lunelli had 5 children. At the time, Ferrari was making 9,000 bottles per year.

Giulio Ferrari died in Trento on 14 January 1965.

Bruno Lunelli, when he was 63 years old, decided to step down in 1969 and to leave responsibilities to the second generation: Franco (1935), Giorgio (1937), Gino (1939), Carla (1945) and Mauro (1948).[4]

Bruno Lunelli died in 1973 at the age of 66.
