Majesty in Magnitude
Recaredo Terrers Magnum is the cherished gem of collectors and sommeliers. This 1.5-liter format is not only ideal for sharing but also the perfect technical vessel for Xarel·lo to reach its maximum glory. Thanks to its slower and more stable aging, this Brut Nature offers superior carbonic integration and a freshness that defies decades. A biodynamic sparkling wine, artisanally disgorged, representing the pinnacle of Mediterranean viticulture.

Appearance: Straw yellow with old gold reflections. In this format, the bubbles are minuscule, forming endless chains of extreme elegance.
Nose: Intensity and purity. Notes of roasted apple, fennel, and dried flowers stand out, followed by an aristocratic evolution towards brioche, toasted bread, and a deep saline minerality.
Palate: Broad and enveloping entry. The Magnum's volume is felt in a creamy texture yet with an electric verticality. The finish is long, dry, and vibrant, leaving a memory of calcareous stone and absolute cleanliness.

5. Why the Magnum Format is Superior
The relationship between the liquid volume and the amount of oxygen in the bottle's neck is much lower in the Magnum than in a standard bottle. This drastically slows down oxidation processes, allowing the wine to evolve with a harmony and freshness unattainable in other formats. It is, par excellence, the format where the expression of Recaredo's terroir remains purest and most vibrant.
