For storing white wine like Vermentino di Sardegna 2024 75cl follow these practical guidelines:

- Temperature: Keep the wine consistently cool between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). This range helps preserve the wine’s delicate aromas and freshness without accelerating aging or causing acidity issues.

- Light Exposure: Store the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light. UV rays can degrade the wine and cause premature aging or spoilage.

- Sealing: Ensure the cork remains moist to maintain a proper seal; this prevents oxygen from entering and oxidizing the wine. Humidity around 60-70% is ideal to keep corks from drying out and shrinking which can compromise the seal.

- Bottle Position: Store the bottle on its side to keep the cork in contact with the wine. This moistens the cork preventing drying and air entry.

- Humidity: Maintain a relative humidity level between 50% and 70% with about 60% optimal. Proper humidity prevents the cork from drying out and reduces evaporation loss.

- Additional tips for unopened bottles: Avoid temperature fluctuations as these can cause the cork to expand and contract risking leakage. A stable environment is more important than hitting a precise temperature.

- For opened bottles: Once opened reseal tightly (preferably with the original cork or a wine stopper) and store in the refrigerator at around 45°F (7°C). Consume within 2-3 days to preserve quality since white wine oxidizes faster once opened.

Following these conditions will optimize preservation and quality retention for this white wine.
