Lungoparma Il Classico Brut Metodo Classico Magnum

Lungoparma Il Classico Brut Metodo Classico Magnum brings the vibrant spirit of Emilia-Romagna into a generous large-format bottle, perfect for sharing and celebration. Crafted from Pinot Nero and Chardonnay and aged for an impressive 30 months on the lees, it offers a refined, complex style that still feels joyful and approachable. This cuvée represents the fresh, innovative side of Lungoparma’s range, standing alongside their traditional Charmat wines as a more artisanal, bottle-fermented expression.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Il Classico Brut shows a bright, pale straw-yellow hue with fine, persistent bubbles that form a delicate, continuous mousse. The nose is immediately inviting, with notes of citrus zest, green apple, white flowers and subtle hints of freshly baked brioche and toasted nuts from the extended aging on the lees. On the palate, it is dry, crisp and elegant, with a lively acidity that keeps everything taut and refreshing. Flavors of lemon, pear, and crunchy apple are layered with nuances of almond, biscuit, and a gentle creaminess that adds texture without weighing the wine down. The finish is clean, savory and lingering, with a saline touch that invites another sip. Thanks to 30 months on the lees and a further minimum of 6 months after disgorgement, this Metodo Classico is ready to drink now but has the structure to develop additional complexity over the next few years in bottle.

Production
Sourced from vineyards in Emilia-Romagna, Il Classico Brut reflects the region’s temperate climate and well-drained soils, which favor both the finesse of Chardonnay and the vibrant structure of Pinot Nero. Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve acidity and aromatic freshness, then gently pressed and vinified separately to maintain purity of fruit. The base wines are blended and bottled for the second fermentation, following the traditional Metodo Classico (bottle fermentation). The wine then rests on its lees for approximately 30 months, gaining texture and complexity, before disgorgement and a minimum of 6 months additional aging to harmonize the profile and refine the mousse.

Food & Serving
This magnum of Il Classico Brut is a natural choice as an aperitif, particularly with light canapés, oysters, shrimp, smoked salmon or delicate sushi. Its fresh acidity and subtle brioche notes also pair beautifully with soft cheeses, vegetable tempura, light pasta dishes, and white meats such as roast chicken or turkey. Serve well-chilled at around 6–8°C to highlight its precision and brightness. In magnum format, a brief decanting is generally not necessary, but opening the bottle 10–15 minutes before serving will allow the aromas to open up in the glass.
