Matt Steeves rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Ferrari Perlé 2007 was recently awarded finest sparkling wine in the world, outside of Champagne, "World Champion Sparkling Wine Outside Champagne" in the "Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships" organized by Tom Stevenson, the world's foremost authority on sparkling wine.

This is an exceptional Metodo Classico Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine, produced from 100% estate grown Chardonnay, from the finest high altitude hillside vineyards in Trentino. The 2007 was aged for over 5 years on its lees, then cellar-aged the balance of its life. Now 8 years old, it's reached incredible complexity and harmony in every imaginable way. The colour is straw yellow with a rich golden hue, indicative of its age and the complexity that you're soon to experience with that first sip. Rich and nutty, with citrus and tree fruit accents, it's very fresh in the glass, and above all displays the elegance and harmony one expects from a fine Italian luxury product. When there's a major milestone to celebrate I can't think of a more appropriate sparkling wine than this premium vintage Ferrari. Enjoy with pasta carbonara, rich German cuisine, or elegant Japanese cuisine. Tasted October 2015. 94 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca

Ferrari was also recently nominated for 'Best European Winery' by Wine Enthusiast at the Wine Star Awards, the prestigious prize that the American magazine will hand out at the end of 2015. The winners will be announced in the Wine Enthusiast’s special “Best of Year” issue, and they will be honoured at a gala black-tie dinner in New York City on Jan. 25, 2016.
