Cellaring & drinking window

Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner gives a 2025–2038 drinking window, as reproduced by Petersham Cellar for this Brunello. It can be explored now or held for more developed savory aromas. These are estimates for well-stored bottles, not expiry dates; storage history and personal taste affect when to open a bottle. Store unopened in darkness at a stable temperature around 55°F (13°C), away from vibration; keep natural-cork bottles on their side.

Pairing & serving

Serve at 59–63°F with roast lamb or porcini risotto. Taste first, then allow 30–60 minutes of air if the tannins feel closed.

After opening & when to enjoy

Recork and refrigerate upright after opening. A developed bottle may show best the day it is opened; taste again the next day before keeping longer. Let each pour warm slightly before serving.
