Cellaring & drinking window
Wine Enthusiast’s Kerin O’Keefe recommends drinking after 2022, without a final year. That starting point has passed; assess the bottle now rather than inventing a later deadline. This is guidance for a well-stored bottle, not an expiry date; storage history and personal taste affect when to open it. 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 60–65°F with roast lamb, mushroom pasta or aged pecorino. Taste first and decant gently only as needed.
After opening & when to enjoy
Recork and refrigerate upright after opening. A developed bottle may show best on the day it is opened; taste again the next day before keeping it longer. Let each pour warm slightly before serving.
