Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
What benefits does the Magnum format offer for Cepparello?
As a 1.5L bottle, the wine has less proportional contact with oxygen, which slows down aging and preserves the fruit's freshness and acidity for decades.
Is this a Chianti Classico appellation wine?
No, Cepparello is an IGT Toscana. It is classified as such because it is 100% Sangiovese; originally, Chianti rules required blends, so the winery chose quality freedom over the official label.
Why is the Magnum format more valued than two standard bottles?
In addition to its exclusivity and collector's value, the 1.5L Magnum format allows for slower and more uniform aging of the wine, requiring special corks and a top-quality bottling process.
How long should it be decanted?
A Magnum of Cepparello 2020 requires proper oxygenation. We recommend decanting it at least 3 hours before serving to allow its bouquet to unfold completely.
What is the ideal serving temperature?
For this large format, we suggest serving it between 17°C and 18°C (63°F–64°F) to properly enjoy its tannic and aromatic complexity.
