Castello Banfi 2011 Limited Edition Metodo Classico Magnum – Exclusive Italian sparkling wine

Castello Banfi 2011 Limited Edition Metodo Classico Magnum is an elegant and characterful sparkling wine from Banfi’s vineyard in Piedmont. This is an exclusive magnum edition produced according to the classic method – the same principle as in Champagne – where secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, creating finesse, depth and a persistent, fine perlage.

This cuvée is composed of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc – three grape varieties that together create a harmonious and fresh sparkling wine with structure and balance. The 2011 vintage has been given time to develop complexity and the magnum format allows for an even more harmonious and slow maturation.

The result is a bright, straw yellow sparkling wine with a refined and persistent mousse. The combination of freshness, fruit and subtle brioche notes makes it suitable both as an aperitif and with gastronomic dishes where elegance and structure go hand in hand.

Flavor and aroma notes

Color: Light straw yellow with fine, persistent bubbles.

Aroma: Fresh and inviting with notes of green apples, citrus, white flowers and a hint of bread and nuts from bottle aging.

Flavor: Crisp and well-balanced with lively acidity, delicate fruit and an elegant creamy texture. Pinot Noir contributes structure, Chardonnay with freshness and finesse, and Pinot Blanc with soft roundness.

Aftertaste: Clean, fresh and harmonious with great length and lingering minerality.

Serving suggestions

Perfect as an aperitif or with light seafood dishes and delicate appetizers. The magnum format makes it ideal for festive occasions where something special needs to be poured into the glass.
