Cellaring & drinking window
The title identifies a vintage, but an exact-bottle drinking window has not been verified. Ask us to confirm the bottle and its storage history before choosing a long-term cellar plan. 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
Pair with steak, lamb or aged Pecorino. Taste before allowing a longer decant. Serve slightly cool, around 60–65°F (16–18°C). Taste before decanting; if it seems closed, try 20–30 minutes of air and taste again. Older or delicate bottles may need little aeration.
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.
