Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine (such as Fiano 2024 75cl) maintain the following conditions:
- Temperature: Store white wine consistently between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve freshness acidity and aroma without premature aging. Avoid fluctuations as they can expand and contract the wine inside the bottle risking cork damage and oxidation.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and artificial light to prevent UV damage which can spoil wine flavors.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is stored with an intact airtight cork or closure. Avoid drying corks (which can happen if wine is left in a fridge over long periods) as this allows air ingress leading to oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle on its side so the wine keeps the cork moist preventing it from shrinking and allowing air in.
- Humidity: Maintain a relative humidity of around 70% to keep corks from drying out yet avoid mold. Too dry an environment will cause corks to shrink; too humid can create mold and label damage.
- Special Tips for Opened Bottles: Once opened keep the white wine refrigerated (around 40°F/4°C) and resealed with a proper wine stopper or vacuum seal to slow oxidation. Consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
In summary for both unopened and opened white wine bottles like this a consistent cool temperature (45–50°F) darkness proper cork moisture via horizontal storage and controlled humidity are key to preserving shelf life and quality.
