Serving Recommendations:
Temperature: Serve slightly cool, around 14-16°C (57-61°F), to preserve its freshness and fruitiness.
Glassware: Use a medium-sized wine glass with a slight taper to concentrate the aromas.
Decanting: Not necessary for young Chianti Classico, but if desired, decant for 15-30 minutes to allow the wine to breathe and fully express itself.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, ideally laying the bottle on its side to keep the cork moist.
