Cellaring & drinking window
A reliable drinking window for this exact Riserva in 750 mL has not been verified. Its structure suggests potential for development, but confirm the bottle’s condition and storage history before committing to extended cellaring. Keep unopened around 55°F (13°C), in darkness with stable temperature; lay natural-cork bottles on their side.
Pairing & serving
Pair with braised beef, wild-boar ragù or aged pecorino. Serve around 60–65°F (16–18°C); taste before decanting, and add air cautiously so developing aromas are not lost.
After opening & when to enjoy
Recork and refrigerate upright. Enjoy within about 3–4 days for best flavor, allowing each pour to warm slightly before serving.
