Serve at around 16–18°C and consider decanting for an hour or two if opening now. The producer recommends allowing the wine to mature before drinking, so older bottles may need only a gentle decant to separate any sediment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRomano Dal Forno and his sons run the family estate in Val d’Illasi, where years of experimentation have shaped a distinctive, highly attentive approach to growing and making wine.
