The Brut Maximum is a (big) step up the ladder of the Spumantes of Ferrari. 'Maximum', to indicate that the aim is to achieve maximum quality. Like most other Ferrari wines, it is made exclusively from Chardonnay, harvested from vineyards at an altitude between 300 - 700 meters with an exhibition from the southeast to the southwest, so nicely located in the afternoon sun. The yields are limited and the grapes are harvested by hand in September. To make a really good quality, only the first part of the pressing is used, the rest would give too much plantability and sharpness. Bottle fermentation takes no less than three years to create a perfect mousse. A wonderful glass, nicely balanced, soft, with a wonderful length and beautiful acids.
In the glass, the Ferrari Maximum has a clear golden yellow color with a fine mousse. In the nose we smell nice notes of toasted bread, flowers and yellow fruits, nice and wide. In the mouth the Ferrari Spumante is nicely dry and powerful with a perfect mousse, beautiful white fruit, pear and peach, citrus, lively, nicely toasted and a very good length.
During the Champagne & Sparkling Championship, Ferrari won no less than 11 gold medal lessons and won the first prize and can call himself "Sparkling Wine Producer of the Year 2017".
