Saturday, March 26, 2022 - Praelum - Central Italy Grand Tasting (Praelum Wine Bistro): Pale garnet with orange edges. Expressive nose, with ripe red cherey aromas, roses, tangerine peel, and fresh herbs. A bright, floral, savoury briny attack, with soft tannins and bright acids, tart sour cherry, fresh dill and tarragon. A very classic, long, savoury finish with hints of tar. Lovely!

    If I was keen to pop this in Jan 2023; Would a 12 hour decant suffice?
    Or more!?

Prefer not to decant this wine at all, as I was told before that it's something the late Gianfranco had seriously frowned upon.

    I just read what he said too...

    Another tip before tasting a bottle of Soldera wine is to leave it in the bottle without decanting and appreciate how it evolves over the next few hours.

    If it is a recent vintage, just open the wine shortly before tasting it.

    A great wine goes with any great food, without limits.
