It must be drunk at a service temperature of 16º-18º C in a tulip glass (of a rounded kind for reserve).
It’s better to drink it over our traditional dishes like pastasciutta al ragu’ (meat based) or over boiled mixed or white meat, over light stews and medium seasoning cheese; the reserve one is good over grilled red meat, stews, game and cheese with a strong and seasoned taste.
