How to best open and serve Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 Jéroboam - Il Poggione (wooden box)
1. Bottle positioning
Before opening the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 Jéroboam - Il Poggione (wooden box), it is advisable to place the bottle upright for at least 24 hours, so that the wine's natural sediments can settle at the bottom. This step is particularly important for large formats like the Jéroboam, which contain a larger volume and slower oxidation.
2. Ideal serving temperature
The perfect temperature to best enjoy this Brunello di Montalcino is between 18°C and 20°C. Before serving, let the bottle rest in a temperature-controlled environment or a climate-controlled wine cellar. Avoid sudden temperature changes: excessive heating or cooling can compromise the wine's aromatic balance.
3. Opening the bottle
Given the size and age of the wine, it is important to use a long-lever corkscrew or a knife for old bottles (Durand type) to avoid breaking the cork. Follow these steps:
- Carefully remove the capsule near the neck ring.
- Clean the rim with a clean, dry cloth.
- Slowly insert the corkscrew worm and extract the cork with a steady, smooth motion, without jerking.
4. Inspection and first taste
Once opened, smell the cork to check for any musty or unpleasant odors. Pour a small amount of wine into the glass and visually assess the color: a mature 2017 Brunello will have garnet reflections and a complex bouquet. Taste a small sip to check for any alterations.
5. Decanting and oxygenation
To best enhance the characteristics of this Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 Jéroboam - Il Poggione (wooden box), decanting is essential. Proceed as follows:
- Slowly pour the wine into a carafe or decanter, avoiding disturbing the sediments.
- Allow to oxygenate for at least 60-90 minutes; the time may vary depending on the evolution of the wine in the glass.
- During decanting, you will notice how the bouquet opens up, revealing notes of ripe red fruit, leather, and spices.
6. Serving
Use large, wide-bowled glasses, ideal for structured wines like this Brunello. Fill them to one-third of their volume, to allow proper oxygenation in the glass. Serve the wine gently, avoiding sudden movements, so as not to resuspend any sediments remaining in the bottle.
7. Storage after opening
If not consumed completely, store the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 Jéroboam - Il Poggione (wooden box) in a cool place, away from light and heat. Reseal the bottle with its original cork or an airtight stopper. Under these conditions, the wine can maintain its integrity for 24-48 hours.
