wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and decanting time for this wine? What is its optimal drinking window, and should I use an Ah-So opener?
For this 2011 Gaja Sori Tildin Magnum, we recommend serving it at 16-18°C. Due to its Nebbiolo grape and magnum format, it requires significant decanting, ideally 2-4 hours, or even longer, to fully open up. The optimal drinking window is from 2026 through 2040+. As this wine is 13 years old, a standard corkscrew is suitable; an Ah-So opener is not strictly necessary yet.
