History

Giulio Ferrari was born on 9 April 1879. In 1902, he decided to make sparkling wine in Italy with[1] the metodo Ferrari, essentially the same as the traditional methode Champenoise (method of Champagne),[2] with the wine being aged for four to five years.

In 1952, Ferrari was aged, tired, and childless, so he chose Bruno Lunelli (1907-1973), who owned a wine shop in Trento and had five children, to take over the winery. At the time, Ferrari was making 9,000 bottles per year.

Giulio Ferrari died in Trento on 14 January 1965.

In 1969, Bruno Lunelli, aged 63, decided to step down and leave responsibilities to the second generation: Franco (1935), Giorgio (1937), Gino (1939), Carla (1945), and Mauro (1948).[3] The third and current generation comprises Matteo Lunelli (President and CEO), Camilla Lunelli, Alessandro Lunelli, and Marcello Lunelli.
