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. The metodo Ferrari is essentially the same as le methode Champenoise, with the wine being aged for four to five years, 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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    America is, therefore the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World’s history shall reveal itself. It is a land of desire for all those who are weary of the historical lumber-room of Old Europe.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?
    Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
