wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 1999 Antinori Tignanello? Should I decant it?
This 1999 Antinori Tignanello is best served at 16-18°C (60-64°F). It is currently in its peak drinking window and can be enjoyed now through 2028+. Decanting for 1-2 hours is highly recommended to allow its complex aromas to fully develop and soften any remaining tannins. Given its age, consider using a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, Durand, or Ah-So opener to protect the cork.
