wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature, decanting time, and drink window for this wine? Should I use an Ah-So opener?
For this 2015 Sassicaia 3.0L, we recommend serving it at 16-18°C. Decant for 1-2 hours to allow its complex aromas to fully develop. The optimal drink window is estimated from 2025 to 2045 and beyond. As it is not yet over 20 years old, a standard corkscrew should suffice, though an Ah-So opener is always a good option for older, more delicate corks.
