  • The Magnum format

    Cà Rovere Magnums are handcrafted. The cellarmen carry out the remuage on wooden stands according to the more traditional procedure of the champenoise method. The Magnum format is striking and brings joy, but also improves the quality of the wine. Compared to smaller formats, the ratio of oxygen to wine in the bottle is lower. In the classic method, in particular, a larger bottle provides a greater surface area on which the yeasts remain in contact with the wine. The fermentation proceeds more slowly, and the refinement will be longer and of higher quality. Furthermore, the greater thickness of the glass shields external light better, slowing down the oxidation processes of the wine.
