Mymi Thesingingsommelier rated this wine as 95/100 with the following review:

In 1952, Giulio Ferrari, a man with no heir sold his small Trento winery to Bruno Lunelli to continue in his footsteps and continue crafting his superior quality sparkling wines which at the time were only produced in very small quantities.
But that was all about to change.
Over time, with much hard work and a vision, Bruno Lunelli and his sons were able to transform Ferrari from a relatively small operation vineyard to the celebratory toast of Italy and the leader in the Metodo Classico sparkling wine market.
Today, the Lunelli Group is led by the family’s third generation and still abides by faithful principles.
This 2008 Perlé Rosé has been designed for the true wine lover! It combines 80% Pinot Noir with 20% Chardonnay from the Lunelli’s family vineyards on the hillsides of Trento and has been matured for at least 5 years on its lees.
Bright salmon pink with a profusion of tiny bubbles in the glass.
On the nose, it exudes aromas of summer-ripe juicy nectarines, wild red berries, a little garrigue and French meringue.
Luxurious, luscious, spicy, juicy, robust… Very fine tannins with wonderful flavors of toasted & buttered croissant and sumptuous red berry compote. Lingering and delightful finish.
Simply stunning!
