Due to the special processing they undergo, new vintage wines con-
tain a low tannin content and are therefore more enjoyable if served
between 12° C and 14° C (53,6 and 57,2°F).
Since they contain more tannin and are less acidic, red wines are nor-
mally served at higher temperatures.
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 en-
joyable at lower temperatures, between 12° C and 14° C (53,6 and
57,2°F).
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 temperatures, 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 sugges-
tions and recommendations of the winemaker on the bottle.
These types of wines can be served at temperatures between 16° C
and 18° C (60,8 and 64,4°F), depending on personal tastes, to atten-
uate the sweet taste of straw wines, it can also be served at 10° C
(50°F).

The sliding shelves are made of fine wood and contoured so as to
hold bottles of the most classical 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 Fhiaba Wine Cellar. A special accessory,
available on request, will let you place them in an inclined position,
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.
If the TriMode compartment is also used as a wine cellar, the bottles
may be kept in a horizontal position, as long as they do not move
or touch one another. A special accessory for this purpose may be
provided on request.
