Serving and storage recommendations
Serve this wine slightly below room temperature for balance (approximately 16–18°C / 60–64°F). Decanting for 20–30 minutes can help open up the bouquet and soften tannins, especially if you’re enjoying it with richer, savory dishes. Store in a cool, dark place and lay bottles on their side to keep the cork evenly moist.
