wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 2023 Darcy Langhe Nebbiolo? Should I decant it?
This young 2023 Darcy Langhe Nebbiolo is best served at 16-18°C (60-64°F). While approachable now, it will benefit from a few more years of aging to soften its tannins and develop complexity, with a drink window extending over the next 5-7 years. Decanting for 1-2 hours is highly recommended to allow it to open up and express its aromatic profile.
