IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TEMPERATURE
Your unit has been designed to guarantee optimum storage conditions and/or serving temperature
for your wines.
Quality wines require longer and milder maturing and need specific conditions to reach their full
potential.
Only the "tasting" temperature varies according to the type of wine (See "Table with temperatures
for serving wine" above). The same as in natural cellars used by wineries for long-term storage,
more than the exact temperature, what is important is temperature "consistency". In other words,
as long as the temperature in your cellar is constant (11ºC - 14ºC) your wines will be stored in
perfect condition. Not all wines improve with aging. Some must be consumed young (2 - 3 years),
while others have an enormous capacity for aging (50 years or more). All wines have an optimum
state of maturation. Consult with your wine provider to obtain this information.
