History
Chardonnay grapes were first brought to the region from France around 1900 by Giulio Ferrari when Trento was still part of the Habsburg Empire. After graduating from the Forschungsanstalt für Garten- und Weinbau in Geisenheim/Rheingau, Germany, Ferrari gained winemaking experience in the French Champagne producing village of Épernay. His eponymous company is now run by the third generation Ferrari's successor, Bruno Lunelli.
