wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and decanting time for this wine, and what is its drink window?
For this 2015 Brunello di Montalcino, we recommend serving it at 17-18°C (62-64°F). Decanting for 2-3 hours is highly beneficial to allow its complex aromas of cherry, leather, and earthy notes to fully open up. The 2015 vintage is excellent and this wine has significant aging potential, enjoyable now with decanting or cellared for another 10-15 years.
