Serve Mondelli Pinot Grigio chilled, ideally between 45-50°F (7-10°C). This temperature range enhances its crispness and allows its delicate aromas to fully express themselves. It is best enjoyed shortly after opening to appreciate its freshness. While it can be aged for a short period, its primary appeal lies in its vibrant, youthful character. Consider decanting if you prefer a slightly more open bouquet, though it is generally not necessary for this style of wine.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, reseal the bottle tightly with its original closure or a wine stopper. Store upright in a cool, dark place, such as a refrigerator. It is best consumed within 2-3 days of opening to maintain its optimal flavor and effervescence.
