Store the bottle horizontally, in a cool, dark place, with a stable temperature between 10 and 15°C. It is recommended to consume it within 2-3 years from disgorgement to fully appreciate its freshness, softness, and aromatic balance. After this period, the wine tends to evolve towards more mature notes, losing some of its vibrant effervescence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bellavista","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52415177097555,"sku":"F01-B014-2018-06C_D001","price":119.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/2603\/6307\/files\/franciacorta-docg-saten-2018-magnum-bellavista-cofanetto.jpg?v=1764411453","url":"https:\/\/www.astemyo.com\/en\/products\/franciacorta-docg-saten-2018-magnum-bellavista-cofanetto","provider":"Astemyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
