Wine is alive. The right conditions allow a bottle to evolve from promising to profound. Here’s how to build a cellar that protects that journey.
Keep your cellar between 11–13°C with minimal fluctuation. Large swings stress the wine and accelerate aging unevenly.
“Consistency beats perfection. A stable 12°C trumps a fluctuating 10–14°C.”
Light—especially UV—can degrade aromas. Vibration agitates sediment and hinders maturation. Use soft, indirect lighting and isolate appliances.
Relative humidity around 60–70% keeps corks supple. Ensure ventilation to avoid stale odors and mold.
When in doubt, professional storage offers the most reliable route—combining technology and stewardship so your wines can truly thrive.
