What kind of wine is Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 Magnum - Levii (case)?
Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 Magnum - Levii (case) is a vintage sparkling wine born in the heart of Trentino, a land dedicated to the production of mountain sparkling wines. It is a Metodo Classico – meaning it is produced through secondary fermentation in the bottle – primarily from Chardonnay grapes with a small percentage of Pinot Noir, grown at over 600 meters above sea level. The result is an elegant wine with a crisp and refined profile, combining freshness, aromatic complexity, and a surprisingly harmonious finish.Vintage details
The 2017 vintage in Trentino was characterized by a harsh winter and a warm summer, with good temperature variations between day and night. These conditions favored balanced grape ripening, ensuring both a full structure and high natural acidity, perfect for the production of Metodo Classico sparkling wines. The hand-picked grapes yielded pure musts rich in varietal aromas.Winemaking and aging
The base of the Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 Magnum - Levii (case) comes from a careful selection of the best plots of the estate. After the first fermentation in steel, the wine rests on its lees in the bottle for approximately 60 months, according to the traditional Metodo Classico. This long aging imparts complexity and depth, favoring the development of toasted nuances and a fine, persistent effervescence. Disgorgement (i.e., the removal of the lees) occurs shortly before release, to ensure freshness and aromatic integrity.Tasting notes

How to best open and serve Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 Magnum - Levii (case)
1. Bottle positioning
Before opening Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 Magnum - Levii (case), position the bottle upright for at least 24 hours. This allows natural sediments, often present in long-aged traditional method wines, to settle at the bottom, facilitating a clean and impurity-free serving. Avoid shaking or tilting it.
2. Ideal serving temperature
To best appreciate the aromas and fine perlage of this Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 Magnum - Levii (case), the ideal serving temperature is between 8°C and 10°C. If the bottle is stored in a cellar, place it in an ice bucket with ice and water for about 20-25 minutes before tasting.
3. Opening the bottle
Opening a Magnum bottle of sparkling wine requires care and delicacy:
- Remove the top foil and check that the cork is intact.
- Hold the bottle at approximately a 45° angle and grasp the cork with one hand, while slowly twisting the base of the bottle with the other.
- Allow the cork to come out gently, keeping the pressure under control to prevent the wine from gushing out.
The goal is to achieve a slight sigh of gas, not a pop: an elegant opening preserves the fine effervescence typical of Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 Magnum - Levii (case).
4. Inspection and first taste
After opening, pour a small amount of wine into a clear glass to inspect the color, clarity, and perlage. The absence of impurities and the fine, persistent perlage indicate excellent preservation. Take a first sip to ensure the wine is in perfect condition, with no oxidative notes or defects.
5. Decanting and oxygenation
Although Italian traditional method wines like Trento DOC rarely require decanting, a brief oxygenation can be useful for a 2017 Magnum. Pour the wine into a wide decanter only if you wish to soften the foam and develop the aromatic bouquet more intensely. Alternatively, leave it in the glass for a few minutes: the natural oxygenation will bring out the evolved and mineral notes typical of Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 Magnum - Levii (case).
6. Serving
Serve in tulip-shaped glasses or large flutes, which enhance the olfactory complexity and gustatory freshness. Fill them about one-third full to allow the aromas to fully open. Ideal accompaniment for:
- fish and seafood dishes,
- light white meats,
- aged cheeses,
- refined aperitifs or special toasts.
7. Storage after opening
If not consumed entirely, reseal the Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 Magnum - Levii (case) with an airtight sparkling wine stopper and store it in the refrigerator at 6°C. Consume it within 24 hours, when the perlage is still lively and the aromas retain their original freshness. Avoid storing it at room temperature or near heat sources.
