How to Best Open and Serve Toscana Rosso IGT 'Coevo' 2015 - Cecchi
1. Bottle Positioning
Before opening Toscana Rosso IGT 'Coevo' 2015 - Cecchi, position the bottle upright for at least 24 hours. This allows natural sediment from an aged wine to settle at the bottom, ensuring a clean pour. If the bottle has been stored horizontally, avoid sudden movements that could stir up the sediment.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
To best appreciate the characteristics of this excellent Tuscan wine, ensure the serving temperature is between 18°C and 20°C. Too low a temperature would penalize its complex aromas, while too high a temperature could accentuate its alcoholic content. If necessary, leave the bottle at room temperature for about 30 minutes before opening.
3. Opening the Bottle
Use a lever or double-action corkscrew to gently extract the cork. Follow these steps:
- Remove the capsule below the bottle's neck ring.
- Wipe the rim with a clean cloth.
- Insert the corkscrew's worm into the center of the cork and slowly extract it to avoid breakage.
If you notice small cork crumbs, remove them with a cloth before pouring.
4. Inspection and First Taste
After opening, smell the cork and pour a small amount into a tasting glass. The Toscana Rosso IGT 'Coevo' 2015 - Cecchi should express balanced aromas of ripe red fruit, spices, and evolved woody notes. If you detect unpleasant odors of cork taint or oxidation, the wine may be compromised.
5. Decanting and Aeration
As this is a 2015 vintage wine, decanting is essential to best enhance its complex aromas. Follow these tips:
- Slowly pour the wine into a decanter, leaving any sediment in the bottle.
- Allow it to decant for approximately 60-90 minutes before serving.
- During this time, the wine will come into contact with air, releasing elegant aromas and improving its softness on the palate.
6. Serving
Use large red wine glasses to enhance aromatic perception. Pour carefully, avoiding the bottom of the bottle where natural sediment may have settled. The Toscana Rosso IGT 'Coevo' 2015 - Cecchi best expresses its character when tasted slowly, accompanying structured dishes or aged cheeses.
7. Storage After Opening
If you don't consume the entire content, reseal the bottle with an airtight stopper or a vacuum pump system. Store the wine in the refrigerator, even if it's red, to slow down oxidation. Ideally, consume the Toscana Rosso IGT 'Coevo' 2015 - Cecchi within 2-3 days to preserve its aromas and structure.
