Magnum
A magnum holds 1.5 litres. Its name comes from the Latin magnus, meaning ‘great’ or ‘large’. An apt reference, as it contains exactly twice the volume of a standard 750ml bottle. Sharing and conviviality are what this format embodies best. It’s THE perfect format for festive occasions, from birthdays and family gatherings to weddings or dinners with friends. A magnum commands attention and never fails to impress when placed at the centre of the table. Beyond its visual impact, the magnum format is also favoured by discerning wine lovers for its ageing potential. With twice the volume of wine exposed to the same amount of oxygen as in a standard bottle, the wine matures more slowly, preserving its freshness and complexity for longer. Its larger size also offers greater thermal inertia, which further slows down the ageing process, making it a preferred format for collectors and serious wine lovers alike.
