What kind of wine is Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 Magnum - Levii (wooden box)
The Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 Magnum - Levii (wooden box) is an excellent Metodo Classico sparkling wine, a symbol of Trentino tradition and the mountainous vocation of this appellation. Produced with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes cultivated over 600 meters above sea level, this wine reflects the authentic character of the Dolomites: fragrant, elegant, and extraordinarily fresh. The Levii style aims for a balance between aromatic complexity and drinkability, offering a modern and refined interpretation of Trento DOC in Magnum format, stored in a precious wooden box, also ideal for a significant gift.Vintage Details
The 2017 vintage was characterized by a cold but regular winter, followed by an early spring and a dry summer, with excellent temperature excursions between day and night. These conditions allowed the grapes to be harvested in perfect balance between sugar ripeness and acidity, ensuring the production of fresh, aromatic, and richly structured base wines. The harvest, strictly manual, selected only the best bunches for a Riserva of great personality.Winemaking and Aging
The Trento Brut Riserva DOC 2017 Magnum - Levii is born from meticulous winemaking according to the Metodo Classico, the same method used for Champagne, where the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle. After the secondary fermentation, the wine ages on its lees for a full 60 months, a long period that gives it finesse, complexity, and a creamy and persistent perlage. Disgorgement, which is the removal of the lees, occurs only at the opportune moment to preserve freshness and fragrance.Tasting Notes
