New wines (Vin Nouveau)
Due to the special processing they undergo, new
vintage wines contain a low tannin content and
are therefore more enjoyable if served between
12° C and 14° C (53,6 and 57,2°F).
Red wines
Since they contain more tannin and are less acid-
ic, red wines are normally served at higher tem-
peratures.
Younger wines with less tannin are normally
served between 14° C and 16° C (57,2 and 60,8°F),
while more full-bodied ones that are more tan-
nic may be served at up to 18° C (64,4°F). Some
wines that have aged for years in the bottle, still
full-bodies and tannic, may be served at 18°C
(64,4°F) or even 20° C (68°F).
Young red wines with little tannin and slightly
structured may be enjoyable at lower tempera-
tures, between 12° C and 14° C (53,6 and 57,2°F).
Sparkling wines
It is difficult to provide instructions to cover the
wide variety of sparkling wines in available.
As a general rule, sweeter and more aromatic
sparkling wines should be served at lower tem-
peratures, down to 8° C (46,4°F), whereas more
tannic sparkling wines may be served at higher
temperatures, up to 14° C (57,2°F).
Dry sparkling wines are usually served between
8° C and 10° C (46,4 and 50°F).
“Classic” sparkling wines are normally served
at these temperatures, which may be as high as
12° C (53,6°F) for sparkling wines that have been
aged for some time.
It is however advisable, especially for finer wines,
to follow the suggestions and recommendations
of the winemaker on the bottle.
Liqueur and straw wines
These types of wines can be served at tempera-
tures between 16° C and 18° C (60,8 and 64,4°F),
depending on personal tastes, to attenuate the
sweet taste of straw wines, it can also be served
at 10° C (50°F).
9.5 Position of bottles
The sliding shelves are made of fine wood and
contoured so as to hold bottles of the most clas-
sical traditional shape or of the most modern
design.
Whether your collection holds fine bouteilles or
petit bouteilles, they will be right at home in the
Top Cellar. A special accessory, available on re-
quest, will let you place them in an inclined posi-
tion, in order to display the labels of your most
prized items.
Also Magnum bouteilles can be stored, provided
you remove the shelf just above the one that will
hold them.
Warning
After a prolonged interruption of electri-
cal power, once the electrical power is re-
activated, an audible signal will indicate if
the temperature has raised above normal
levels. In addition to this the display will
show for one minute the highest temper-
ature detected inside the compartments,
to allow the user to decide how to better
use the food items.
After one minute the display will resume
normal operation, while the Alarm button
will continue to blink.
Press the Alarm button
to display the
highest recorded temperatures.
