For the best enjoyment, serve chilled at 6-8°C in tall, narrow flute glasses to perfect the elevation of flavor and effervescence. To elevate your tasting experience:
- Add fresh pomegranate seeds or persimmon slices for a colorful and complementary touch.

- Mix with elderflower liqueur for a light and aromatic cocktail experience.
- Pairs beautifully with delicate finger foods, such as prosciutto-wrapped asparagus or seafood tartlets.
- In summer gatherings, enhance with chilled peach puree for a fresh twist reminiscent of a Peach Bellini.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Sparkling White (such as Prosecco Spumante Extra Dry):
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles ideally between 40°F to 55°F (4°C to 13°C). The lower end (40-50°F) preserves effervescence best while up to 55°F is acceptable for longer aging without harming quality. Avoid standard refrigerator temperatures below 40°F to prevent freezing and cork damage.
- Light Exposure: Keep bottles in a dark place to prevent light strike. UV rays can cause off-odors by altering natural compounds in the wine via “light strike”.
- Sealing: Unopened bottles come sealed with corks designed for sparkling wine which must remain moist. For opened bottles use a special sparkling wine stopper to maintain carbonation and prevent oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Store unopened bottles either horizontally or vertically. Horizontal storage maintains cork moisture but vertical is acceptable short-term. For sparkling wines vertical storage reduces surface area contact but horizontal is often recommended to keep cork moist.
- Humidity: Maintain 50-85% humidity to keep corks from drying out and shrinking. Too much humidity can promote cork mold growth so avoid excessive moisture.
- Vibration: Keep bottles as still as possible. Vibrations can disturb the wine’s balance affecting acidity and carbonation so avoid storing near heavy machinery or in frequently moved refrigerators.
Additional tips:
- Avoid temperature fluctuations; a constant cool environment helps preserve bubbles and flavor.
- Do not freeze sparkling wine as expansion could push out or break the cork and damage the bottle.
- After opening consume within 1-3 days for best freshness keeping the bottle sealed with a proper sparkling stopper and refrigerated.
These practices ensure preservation of sparkling wine's bubbles freshness and flavor stability over time both before and after opening.
