Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Ferrari has been producing world-class Methodo Classico sparkling wine since 1902. A pioneer in premium Italian traditional method sparkling wine production, Ferrari, has been loved by many around the world for over a century. Not to be confused with another iconic Italian brand, this Ferrari has relied only on its delicious wines to build its international following. The founder's focus on creating a luxurious sparkling wine continues today with this third generation family business as Ferrari sparkling wine is enjoyed by many of the world's celebrities as their celebration wine of choice. Fortunately, this is the most affordable Ferrari, and Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine you can find, making it very accessible to all, not just those A-list celebs.

The Ferrari Brut is a non-vintage Blanc de Blancs (Chardonnay only) sparkling wine that was disgorged in 2014 after over two years on its lees. The colour is a rich straw yellow, with a nose of sweet baked apples and pears, vanilla bean, biscuit, and wet stone. A very attractive and complex wine that sells for under $30! An absolute buy-by-the-case wine! Some of the finest bubbles I've enjoyed, especially at that price, the delicate mousse has a wonderful palate cleansing rich tree fruit and lemon curd finish. Very food friendly, . Enjoy now with your closest friends. Tasted December 2014 and October 2015. 92+ points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A rich sparkling wine made from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in Italy's Alto Aldige Trentino region. Elegant aromas of golden apple, biscuits and hint of lime, repeated on the palate with vanilla and wet stone. Fine mousse and a tart lime finish.
Great value here - much cheaper than a sports car!
