What are the recommended serving temperature, decanting time, and optimal drinking window for this 2007 Gaja Ca'Marcanda Promis Toscana IGT? What opener should I use?
For this 2007 Gaja Ca'Marcanda Promis Toscana IGT, serve at 16-18°C. Decant for 1-2 hours to allow it to breathe.

Given its age, we highly recommend using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to safely extract the cork.
