wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and optimal drinking window for this wine?
This 2020 Barolo is a young wine with great aging potential. We recommend cellaring it until at least 2028, with an optimal drinking window extending to 2040 or beyond. Serve at 16-18°C. Decanting for 2-3 hours is highly recommended to soften its tannins and allow its complex aromas to develop. No special opener is needed for this vintage.
