Esperienza Ferrari
Champagne took place in Reims, France to visit Maison Ruinart. Maison Ruinart is the first champagne house
in history. In 1729 Nicolas Ruinart, a textile entrepreneur, began his career
as a sparkling wine producer, an idea passed down from his Benedictine monk
uncle Dom Ruinart. With the first bottles produced, he had the idea of giving
them as gifts to his best customers. After the first few years of selling
champagne and seeing its success, he left the textile business six years later to
devote himself exclusively to the production and trade of this sparkling wine.
Louis XVIII granted François Irénée Ruinart a title of nobility and emblazoned
coats of arms, which have appeared on all Ruinart bottles ever since.
The alma mater of all
Maison Ruinart champagnes is the Chardonnay variety from the Côte des Blancs
and the Montagne de Reims. This grape of great aromatic freshness, luminosity
and elegance, will offer all its expression after a parsimonious maturation in
the cool shadows of the crayères. The non-vintage Ruinart Brut champagnes will
remain for a period of three years, and 9 to 10 years for a Dom Ruinart.
During the trip, Ferrari
clients were able to drive the roads of the French countryside, the birthplace
and cradle of the world's most coveted drink. At the wheel of the Ferrari Roma,
the new front mid-engined 2+ coupé from the Prancing Horse, it boasts elegant
proportions and timeless design coupled with unsurpassed performance and
handling. With its characteristic style and elegance, this car is a
contemporary representation of the carefree and pleasurable lifestyle of Rome
in the 1950s and 1960s.
It was two days of luxury
and good taste.
