Storage advice
For optimal storage of Quinquina (such as L.N. Mattei Cap Corse Grande Réserve Quinquina Blanc) adhere to the following practical guidelines:
- Temperature: Store at a stable cool temperature ideally between 10-17ºC (50-65ºF). Avoid temperature fluctuations as Quinquina's quality can deteriorate with heat exposure or frequent changes in temperature.
- Light Exposure: Keep away from direct light particularly ultraviolet (UV) exposure which can degrade flavor and color. Store bottles in a dark place or use a dark storage container to prevent light damage.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is well sealed. Since Quinquina often uses cork or screw caps the seal must remain tight to avoid oxidation. For opened bottles reseal tightly immediately after use to limit air contact.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than lying on their sides. Unlike wines that require cork moisture Quinquina’s cork (or screw cap) does not need constant moisture so upright positioning minimizes surface contact with air and contaminants and reduces leakage risks.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity around 60-80%. This prevents corks from drying out if they are traditional while avoiding excessive humidity that could encourage mold on labels or corks.
- Additional Tips for Opened Bottles: After opening consumption is recommended within 0-2 years stored in a cool dark place with a tightly sealed cap to preserve quality.
Following these specific conditions extends the shelf life and preserves the quality of Quinquina whether unopened or once opened.
