Ferrari Trento, established by Giulio Ferrari in 1902, played a pivotal role in Trento DOC being recognized as a region for sparkling wines made using the traditional method. The winery is situated in the dramatic Dolomite Mountains and seeks to showcase the purity and quality of the region’s land. Ferrari has been certified organic since 2017 and is an official Biodiversity Friend, making strides towards becoming fully carbon-neutral. Visitors can enjoy winery tours and tasting flights, and the Renaissance Tour is a highlight, offering a chance to taste the wines amidst the stunning frescoed ceilings and romantic archways of the restored sixteenth-century Villa Margon.

For an immersive experience, Ferrari offers gastronomic enjoyment alongside vinous and architectural pleasures. The Michelin-starred Locanda Margon features three sumptuous tasting menus, while the Bistrot offers a more relaxed à la carte menu, both showcasing local ingredients. The winery sources grapes not just from its own vineyards but from those of over 500 sustainable growers who follow the same ethos.

Ferrari’s commitment to traditional method fizz is reflected in their planting of mostly Chardonnay, followed by Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Blanc. The “Classic” range includes dry, off-dry, and rosé cuvées, while the “Perlé” line features single vintages. The signature “Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore” is named after its founder and made from 100% Chardonnay in only the best vintages, aged for 10 years on the lees for a rich, complex, and nuanced expression of the Italian landscape.
