wine serving
How should I serve this 1980 Barolo and what is its ideal drink window?
This 1980 Barolo is a mature wine. We recommend using an Ah-So opener to protect the fragile cork. Decant for 1-2 hours to allow it to breathe and reveal its complex aromas. Serve at 16-18°C. It is likely at its peak or slightly past, but still offers a unique experience.
