wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and drinking window for this wine? Should I decant it?
For optimal enjoyment, serve this Barolo at 16-18°C. It is currently within its drinking window and can be enjoyed now, but will continue to evolve. Decanting for 1-2 hours is recommended to allow it to breathe and express its full complexity. For this 1991 vintage, an Ah-So opener is highly recommended to protect the fragile cork.
