8. WINE STORAGE
8.1 General directions
Wine can stored for extended periods of time, es-
pecially under the following conditions:
> Suitable temperature without significant mid to
long term temperature changes over time
> Controlled level of humidity
> Protection from light
> Absence of vibrations
> Absence of odours
> Bottle kept horizontal.
All of these conditions are fully met in the
Bertazzoni Wine Cellar.
8.2 Conservation temperature
The space offered by the upper and lower com-
partments, allows conservation of your best
wines at two different temperatures.
The two compartments are initially set to the fol-
lowing temperatures:
> Upper compartment
+54°F (+12°C) - adjustable from +39°F to +64°F
(from +4°C to +18°C)
> Lower compartment
+50°F (+10°C) - adjustable from 39°F to 64°F
(from +4°C to +18°C)
All the temperatures can be modified according
to the characteristics of the wines and personal
preferences. However, you should attempt to
keep the temperature as constant as possible
over time.
Rapid and large-scale temperature variations
can in fact cause dilation of the liquid and early
aging of the wine.
You should also avoid very low temperatures
(below +39°F and +4°C) which may lead to the
formation of deposits and damage the aesthetic
qualities of the wine.
All the compartments offer optimal conditions
and take into account all these needs. It should
however be noted that the upper compartment,
in particular, is thermostatically controlled in
a very precise manner and ensures the utmost
care and attention over time of your most prized
bottles. When the upper compartment is set be-
low +54°F (+12°C) the lower compartment must
not be set beyond +50°F (+10°C).
