9. CONSERVATION OF WINES
9.1 General directions
As is known, wine can be stored for long periods
of time if this is done under the following conditions:
> Suitable temperature without appreciable vari-
ations over time
> Controlled level of humidity
> Protection from light
> Absence of noise and vibrations
> Absence of odours
> Bottle kept horizontal.
All of these conditions are fully met in the Top
Cellar.
EN
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 1° C - 34° 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 Lower Cellar compartment, in particular, is thermostatically controlled
in a very precise manner and ensures the utmost
care and attention over time of your most prized
bottles. When the Lower Cellar compartment is
set below +10° C (50° F) the Top Cellar must not
be set beyond +12° C (53° F).
9.2 Conservation temperature
The space offered by the Top Cellar and Lower
Cellar compartments, which can be expanded as
necessary by using the Fresh Zone compartment
as a wine cellar, allows conservation of your best
wines at three different temperatures.
The three compartments are initially set to the
following temperatures:
> Lower Cellar compartment
+12° C (53 ° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C
(from 39° F to 64° F)
> Top Cellar compartment
+10° C (50° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C
(from 39° F to 64° F)
> Fresh Zone drawer
-18° (0° F) - adjustable from -13° C to -23° C
(from 9° F to -11° F) (freezer mode)
To transform the Fresh Zone compartment into
a Top Cellar space, you must access the Menu,
set it as a refrigerator compartment, and adjust it
to a temperature between +4° C and +8° C (from
39.2° F to 46.4° F).

(from 9° F to -11° F)(freezer mode)
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.
17
EN
9.3 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) from 12° to 14° C 6 months
Sweet sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 1 year
Rosé from 10° to 14° C 1 year
Semi-sparkling wines from 10° to 12° C 1 - 2 years
Normal white wines from 10° to 14° C 1 - 2 years
Light red wines from 12° to 14° C 2 years
Dry sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 2 years
Classic sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 3 - 4 years
Barrique and Vigorous white wines from 8° to 12° C 3 - 5 years
Normal red wines from 14° to 16° C 3 - 5 years
Barrique and Vigorous red wines from 14° to 18° C 7 - 10 years
Straw wines or Liquorous wines from 16° to 18° C 10 - 15 years
and aromatic wines can also be served at 10° C
9.4 Consumption temperature
As a general rule, white wines should be served
at a temperature between 10 and 12° C (50 and
53,6°F) and red wines between 12 and 14° C (53,6
and 57,2°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:
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 57,2°F). Young, fresh
(50°F), while less aromatic ones are served at
12° C (53,6°F).
Temperatures between 12° C and 14° C (53,6°F
and 57,2°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 53,6°F), if young and fresh, and

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 (53,6 and 57,2°F).
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 (57,2 and 60,8°F),
while more full-bodied ones that are more tannic may be served at up to 18° C (64,4°F). Some
wines that have aged for years in the bottle, still
full-bodies and tannic, may be served at 18°C
(64,4°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 (53,6 and 57,2°F).
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 (46,4°F), whereas more
tannic sparkling wines may be served at higher
temperatures, up to 14° C (57,2°F).
Dry sparkling wines are usually served between
8° C and 10° C (46,4 and 50°F).
“Classic” sparkling wines are normally served
at these temperatures, which may be as high as
12° C (53,6°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.

petit bouteilles, they will be right at home in the
