What wine is Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 - Levii
Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 - Levii is a classic method sparkling wine, meaning it is produced using the same traditional technique as Champagne, where the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle. It originates from the Trentino slopes, at over 600 meters above sea level, where temperature fluctuations and mountain air provide grapes with a fresh and aromatic profile. It is an elegant and mineral sparkling wine, with a style that perfectly represents the vocation of the Trento DOC territory: freshness, balance, and refinement.
Vintage Details
The 2017 vintage was characterized by a mild spring and a dry summer, which favored a regular ripening of the grapes. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards cultivated at high altitudes produced healthy and concentrated bunches, ensuring a high-quality base. The harvest, carried out strictly by hand, allowed for the selection of only the best bunches for the final cuvée.

The production of Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 - Levii follows the classic method with a long period on the lees, which is the time when the wine matures on the spent yeast cells after fermentation, enriching the sparkling wine with structure and aromatic complexity. After fermentation in the bottle, the wine rests for approximately 60 months on the lees, a time that allows for the development of elegant notes of toasted bread and dried fruit. The result is a sparkling wine of great balance and lingering taste.

How to best open and serve Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 - Levii
1. Bottle positioning
Before opening Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 - Levii, position the bottle upright for at least a few hours. This allows any sediment to settle at the bottom, ensuring a clearer pour. If the bottle has been stored horizontally in the cellar, lift it gently to avoid disturbing the contents.
2. Ideal serving temperature
The right serving temperature is essential to enhance the elegance and freshness of the wine. We recommend serving Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 - Levii between 6°C and 8°C. You can achieve this temperature by leaving the bottle in the refrigerator for about three hours, or by submerging it in an ice bucket with water for about 20 minutes.
3. Opening the bottle
To correctly open a classic method sparkling wine like Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 - Levii:
- Remove the protective foil under the wire cage.
- Loosen the wire cage, always keeping your thumb on top of the cork to prevent accidental openings.
- Hold the bottle tilted at approximately 45° and slowly rotate the base, not the cork.
- Let the cork ease out gently, producing a soft sigh, not a "pop."
4. Inspection and first taste
Immediately after opening, observe the color and brilliance of the wine in the glass. A well-preserved Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 - Levii will have fine and persistent bubbles with golden reflections. Bring the glass to your nose to appreciate the complex aromas of ripe fruit, bread crust, and mineral notes. Take a small sip to verify that the wine is intact and harmonious.
5. Decantation and oxygenation
Although classic method sparkling wine does not require traditional decantation, a slight oxygenation in the glass helps to develop the more complex aromas. Slowly pour the Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 - Levii into a wide glass, such as a modern flute or a white wine glass. Wait a few minutes before tasting to allow the carbon dioxide to stabilize and the aromas to open up.
6. Serving
Serve the Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 - Levii in perfectly clean and colorless glasses, so as to fully appreciate the wine's brilliance. Pour slowly, avoiding filling more than two-thirds of the glass to promote the formation and longevity of the bubbles.

7. Storage after opening
If not consumed entirely, store the Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 - Levii in the refrigerator with a specific sparkling wine stopper that maintains internal pressure. Under these conditions, you can still enjoy it within 24-48 hours, with good preservation of freshness and bubbles. Avoid leaving the opened bottle at room temperature to avoid compromising its aromatic quality.
