History

Giulio Ferrari was born on 9 April 1879. In 1902 Giulio Ferrari decided to make sparkling wine in Italy with same method of champagne.[1] The metodo Ferrari is essentially the same as le methode Champenoise,[2] with the wine being aged for four to five years,[3] though being Italian, the product cannot be called Champagne.

On 1952, Giulio Ferrari was old and tired and he had no children, so he chose Bruno Lunelli (1907-1973 who owned a shop of wines in Trento) to carry on the winery, also because Lunelli had 5 children. At tha time, Ferrari was making 9,000 bottles per year.

Giulio Ferrari died in Trento on 14 January 1965.

Bruno Lunelli on 1969, when he was 63 years old, decided to step down and to leave responsibilities to the second generation: Franco (1935), Giorgio (1937), Gino (1939), Carla (1945) e Mauro (1948).[4]

Bruno Lunelli died on 1973 when he was 66 years old.
