What kind of wine is Trento DOC 'Riserva Lunelli' 2016 Magnum - Ferrari (wooden box)
The Trento DOC 'Riserva Lunelli' 2016 Magnum - Ferrari (wooden box) is an excellent classic method sparkling wine, a symbol of Trentino's sparkling wine art. It is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes grown in the vineyards of Villa Margon, one of the most suitable areas of the Trento DOC denomination, where the altitude and cool climate favour a slow maturation rich in aromatic nuances. The style is that of a sparkling wine of great structure and personality, elegant and persistent, designed to accompany special moments and to be enjoyed in magnum format, in the precious Magnum version stored in a wooden box.Vintage details
The 2016 vintage stands out for its excellent climatic regularity. The mild spring and sunny summer allowed for perfect grape ripening, with a balanced combination of acidity and aromatic concentration. The harvests, which took place between late August and early September, ensured healthy, rich Chardonnay grapes with the natural freshness typical of Trentino altitudes.Winemaking and aging
The Riserva Lunelli 2016 Magnum is produced using the Classic Method (also known as the champenoise method), meaning the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, with a long aging on the lees. After fermentation in steel, part of the base wine matures in wood for a few months, enriching itself in complexity and body. This is followed by an exceptionally long period of aging on the lees, lasting about 7 years, to which an additional resting time in the bottle is added after disgorgement. The result is a sparkling wine of extraordinary finesse, where the elegance of Chardonnay meets a full and enveloping structure.Tasting notes

How to best open and serve Trento DOC 'Riserva Lunelli' 2016 Magnum - Ferrari (wooden box)
1. Bottle Positioning
Before opening your Trento DOC 'Riserva Lunelli' 2016 Magnum - Ferrari (wooden box), position it upright for a few hours (ideally 10-12) so that any sediment can settle at the bottom. This step is crucial, especially for large format bottles that have undergone longer aging.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
The right temperature enhances the balance and finesse of the bubbles. We recommend bringing the wine to 10-12°C before serving. You can achieve this by leaving the bottle in the refrigerator for about three hours or in an ice bucket with ice and water for 30-40 minutes.
3. Opening the Bottle
Open your Riserva Lunelli 2016 Magnum calmly. Remove the foil with a foil cutter or a small knife, then:
- Thoroughly dry the neck of the bottle
- Slightly tilt the bottle to 45°
- Hold the cork firmly with one hand and slowly rotate the bottle with the other
- Allow the cork to gently release, without letting it "pop" loudly
A controlled opening preserves the elegance and effervescence of the wine.
4. Inspection and First Taste
Immediately after opening, observe the color and clarity by pouring a small amount into a glass. A fine and regular perlage indicates correct evolution. On the nose, the bouquet should be complex and clean, with notes of ripe fruit, honey, and toast. This first taste is to verify that the wine is in perfect condition.
5. Decanting and Oxygenation
Even though it is a Trento DOC metodo classico, the magnum can benefit from light oxygenation. Pour the wine into a wide decanter or wait a few minutes after opening for it to open up and reveal its full aromatic complexity. Decanting is especially recommended if the bottle has been stored for a long time, as it helps to separate any sediment and enhance the evolved aromas.
6. Serving
Serve the wine in large sparkling wine glasses or quality flutes, to best express the bouquet. Fill the glasses only one-third full, keeping the bottle in an ice bucket with ice and water to maintain the ideal temperature. Pair the Trento DOC 'Riserva Lunelli' 2016 Magnum - Ferrari (wooden box) with high-end cuisine, crustaceans, or aged cheeses.
7. Storage After Opening
If not entirely consumed, close the bottle with a special sparkling wine stopper and store it in the refrigerator. It can maintain its freshness for 24-36 hours. Avoid leaving it at room temperature or exposed to direct light. For a perfect experience, it is always advisable to consume it shortly after opening.
