For optimal storage of Sparkling Rosé (Fantini Cuvée Rosato Brut NV 75cl):

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles consistently between 10°C and 15°C (50–59°F) ideally around 10–13°C for best preservation. If refrigerated for serving chill to 6–9°C (45–49°F) shortly before opening but avoid long-term storage in a very cold fridge.

- Light Exposure: Keep bottles away from direct sunlight and artificial light to prevent UV damage which can degrade aroma and flavor compounds.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cork and muselet (wire cage) intact to maintain carbonation and prevent oxidation.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles on their side to keep the cork moist from the inside preventing it from drying out and shrinking. This also helps maintain the seal and pressure crucial for sparkling wines.

- Humidity: Maintain humidity levels around 65–75%. Proper humidity prevents cork drying and reduces oxygen ingress supporting long-term preservation.

- Vibrations: Avoid places near appliances producing vibrations (dishwashers washing machines) which can affect wine stability.

- Opened Bottle: Once opened reseal the bottle with a sparkling wine stopper and store in the fridge at 10–13°C (50–55°F). Consume within 3 to 5 days to avoid loss of carbonation and oxidation.

- Additional Tip: Regularly monitor ullage (the gap between the wine and cork inside the bottle) over time for unopened bottles. Excessively high ullage can lead to oxidation and aroma loss. Rotate stock periodically.

These guidelines will help preserve the quality and shelf life of Sparkling Rosé both unopened and after opening.
