8. WINE STORAGE

8.1 General directions

Wine can stored for extended periods of time, es­pecially under the following conditions:

> Suitable temperature without significant mid to
long term temperature changes over time

> Controlled level of humidity
> Protection from light
> Absence of vibrations
> Absence of odours
> Bottle kept horizontal.

All of these conditions are fully met in the
Bertazzoni Wine Cellar.

8.2 Conservation temperature

a very precise manner and ensures the utmost
care and attention over time of your most prized
bottles. When the upper compartment is set be­low +12° C (54° F) the lower compartment must
not be set beyond +10° C (50° F).

The space offered by the upper and lower com­partments, allows conservation of your best
wines at two different temperatures.

The two compartments are initially set to the fol­lowing temperatures:

> Upper compartment
+12° C (54° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C
(from 39,2° F to 64° F)

> Lower compartment
+10° C (50° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C
(from 39,2° F to 64° F)

All the temperatures can be modified according
to the characteristics of the wines and personal
preferences. However, you should attempt to
keep the temperature as constant as possible

over time.
Rapid and large-scale temperature variations
can in fact cause dilation of the liquid and early
aging of the wine.

You should also avoid very low temperatures
(below 4° C - 39° F ) which may lead to the
formation of deposits and damage the aesthetic
qualities of the wine.

All the compartments offer optimal conditions
and take into account all these needs. It should
however be noted that the upper compartment,
in particular, is thermostatically controlled in

8.3 Time of conservation

Improvement of wine over time and its duration usually depends on the character of the variety and its
type. The following chart shows the best period of conservation and aging for various types in ideal con­servation conditions offered by your appliance.

However, you should always follow the instructions of the winemaker, especially for fine wines.

TYPE OF WINE CONSERVATION TEMPERATURE TIME OF CONSERVATION

New wines (Vin Nouveau) da 12° a 14° C 6 months

Sweet sparkling wines da 8° a 10° C 1 year

Rosé da 10° a 14° C 1 year

Semi-sparkling wines da 10° a 12° C 1-2 year

Normal white wines da 10° a 14° C 1-2 year

Light red wines da 12° a 14° C 2 year

8.4 Consumption temperature

As a general rule, white wines should be served
at a temperature between 10 and 12° C (50 and
54°F) and red wines between 12 and 14° C (54
and 57°F).
Some wines may however be best enjoyed at
higher or lower temperatures.

You should also keep in mind that, during the
summer, wine is generally enjoyed at lower tem­peratures than during the winter.
You should also consider the following:

EN

Red wines

Since they contain more tannin and are less acid­ic, red wines are normally served at higher tem­peratures.
Younger wines with less tannin are normally
served between 14° C and 16° C (57 and 61°F),
while more full-bodied ones that are more tannic
may be served at up to 18° C (64°F). Some wines
that have aged for years in the bottle, still full­bodies and tannic, may be served at 18°C (64°F)
or even 20° C (68°F).
Young red wines with little tannin and slightly
structured may be enjoyable at lower tempera­tures, between 12° C and 14° C (54 and 57°F).

White wines

White wines are normally not served at high tem­peratures, since they are generally more acidic
that red wines and not very tannic. Therefore they
are more enjoyable at low temperatures.
It is preferable to serve these wines between
10° C and 14° C (50°F and 57°F). Young, fresh
and aromatic wines can also be served at 10° C
(50°F), while less aromatic ones are served at
12° C (54°F).
Temperatures between 12° C and 14° C (54°F and
57°F) are for soft, mature white wines that have
been aged for some years in the bottle.
Higher temperatures would favour the exaltation
of the sweet character of the wine, at the expense
of the acidity and flavour, which are considered
pleasant and desirable characteristics of this
type of wine.

Rosé

Rosé wine is served at the same temperature as
white wines. It should be noted that these wines
may include a certain amount of tannin and may
therefore be preferable at higher temperatures.
Therefore, they are served between 10° C and
12° C (50°F and 54°F), if young and fresh, and
between 12° C and 14° C (54°F and 57°F) if ro­bust and mature.

Sparkling wines

It is difficult to provide instructions to cover the
wide variety of sparkling wines in available.
As a general rule, sweeter and more aromatic
sparkling wines should be served at lower tem­peratures, down to 8° C (46°F), whereas more
tannic sparkling wines may be served at higher
temperatures, up to 14° C (57°F).
Dry sparkling wines are usually served between
8° C and 10° C (46 and 50°F).
“Classic” sparkling wines are normally served at
these temperatures, which may be as high as 12°
C (54°F) for sparkling wines that have been aged
for some time.
It is however advisable, especially for finer wines,
to follow the suggestions and recommendations
of the winemaker on the bottle.

Liqueur and straw wines

These types of wines can be served at temper­atures between 16° C and 18° C (61 and 64°F),
depending on personal tastes, to attenuate the
sweet taste of straw wines, it can also be served
at 10° C (50°F).

New wines (Vin Nouveau)

Due to the special processing they undergo, new
vintage wines contain a low tannin content and
are therefore more enjoyable if served between
12° C and 14° C (54 and 57°F).
