Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine such as Ca' dei Frati I Frati Lugana 2024 (a white wine) maintain the following conditions:
- Temperature: Store at a consistent cool temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). Avoid fluctuations as rapid changes can damage the wine by expanding and contracting the cork leading to oxidation.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place to prevent light from degrading the wine and causing premature aging.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle remains sealed with the original cork. If opened re-cork tightly or use a vacuum wine stopper to minimize oxygen exposure and preserve freshness for a few days.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist which prevents it from drying out and shrinking allowing a proper seal to maintain wine quality.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity ideally around 60-70% to prevent corks from drying out without encouraging mold growth.
- Special Tips: Avoid storing white wine for long periods in a regular refrigerator as this can dry the cork and accelerate aging. For opened bottles reseal and store in a refrigerator consuming within 2–3 days for best quality.
This approach preserves the wine’s delicate aromas and flavors maintaining its optimal quality until consumption.
