9.1. General directions
As is known, wine can be stored for long periods of time if this is done under the following conditions:
Suitable temperature without appreciable variations over time.
Controlled level of humidity.
Protection from light.
Absence of noise and vibrations.
Absence of odours.
Bottle kept horizontal.
All of these conditions are fully met in your wine cellar.
9.2. Storage temperatures
The space offered by the Wine Cellar and Cantina compartments, which can be expanded as necessary by using the TriMode compartment as a wine cellar, allows conservation of your best wines at three different temperatures.
The compartments are initially set to the following temperatures:
> Cantina compartment.
+12 °C (53.6 °F)
adjustable from +4 °C to +18 °C (from 39.2 °F to 64.4 °F)
> Wine Cellar compartment
+10 °C (50 °F)
adjustable from +4 °C to +18 °C (from 39.2 °F to 64.4 °F)
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 4 °C - 39.2 °F) 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 cantina 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.

9.3. Time of conservation
Improvement of wine over time and its duration usually depends on the character of the variety and its type. The following chart shows the best period of conservation and aging for various types in ideal conservation conditions offered by your appliance.
In any case, follow the suggestions offered by the bottle producer, in particular for the finest wines.
| TYPE OF WINE CONSERVATION TEMPERATURE TIME OF CONSERVATION | ||
| New wines (Vin Nouveau) from 12 to 14 °C 6 months | ||
| Sweet sparkling wines from | 8 to 10 °C 1 y | ear |
| Rosé from | 10 to 14 °C 1 y | ear |
| Semi-sparkling wines from | 10 to 12 °C 1-2 y | ears |

| Barrique and Vigorous red wines | from 14 to 18 °C 7-10 y | ears |
| Straw wines or Liquorous wines | from 16 to 18 °C 10-15 y | ears |
9.4. Consumption temperature
As a general rule, white wines should be served at a temperature between 10 and 12 °C (50 and 53.6 °F) and red wines between 12 and 14 °C (53.6 and 57 °F). Some wines may however be best enjoyed at higher or lower temperatures.
You should also keep in mind that, during the summer, wine is generally enjoyed at lower temperatures than during the winter.
You should also consider the following:
White wines
White wines are normally not served at high temperatures, since they are generally more acidic that red wines and not very tannic. Therefore they are more enjoyable at low temperatures. It is preferable to serve these wines between 10 and 14 °C (50 and 57.2 °F). Young, fresh and aromatic wines can also be served at 10 °C (50 °F), while less aromatic ones are served at (53.6 °F)Temperatures between 12 and °C14 (53.6 and 57.2 °F) are for soft, mature white wines that have been aged for some years in the bottle. Higher temperatures would favour the exaltation of the sweet character of the wine, at the expense of the acidity and volar, which are considered pleasant and desirable characteristics of this type of wine.
Rosé
Rosé wine is served at the same temperature as white wines. It should be noted that these wines may include a certain amount of tannin and may therefore be preferable at higher temperatures.
Therefore, they are served between 10 and 12 °C (50 and 53.6 °F), if young and fresh, and between 12 and 14 °C (53.6 and 57.2 °F) if robust and mature.
Due to the special processing they undergo, new vintage wines contain a low tannin content and are therefore more enjoyable if served between 12 and 14 °C (53.6 and 57.2 °F).
Red wines
Since they contain more tannin and are less acidic, red wines are normally served at higher temperatures. Younger wines with less tannin are normally served between 14 and 16 °C (57.2 and 60.8 °F), while more full-bodied ones that are more tannic 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 temperatures, between 12 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 temperatures, down to 8 °C (4 6.4 °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 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.
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 attenuate the sweet taste of straw wines, it can also be served at 10 °C (50 °F).
Service temperature management for sparkling wines and Champagne
To ensure energy-efficient use of the wine cellar, it is important to consider the location and storage temperature of the different types of wine. of sparkling wines and champagne, which require a lower serving temperature than the storage temperatures described above, it is advisable to adopt specific positioning strategies within the wine cellar.
In a two-compartment wine cellar, sparkling wines and champagnes intended for service should be placed in the lower compartment. This makes the best use of the cellar's design features, as the cold tends to settle downwards, making it easier to maintain a lower temperature in this compartment. The ideal serving temperature for these wines is around 4° centigrade.
However, it is important to note that if the lower compartment is set to maintain a temperature of 4^ centigrade for immediate service, despite the fact that the cellar is equipped with balancing resistors, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to maintain an adequate storage temperature in the upper compartment above 14^ centigrade.
This happens because the low temperature in the lower compartment affects the environment upper compartment, reducing its ability to reach or maintain higher temperatures necessary for the optimal storage of other types of wine.

9.5. Positioning the bottles
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.
Bottle Storage Guidelines
To maximize the storage capacity of wine bottles, follow these guidelines:
- store the bottle as shown in the drawing;
- ensure that the bottles do not exceed the indicated dimensions.

Warning
After a prolonged interruption of electrical power, once the electrical power is reactivated, 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 temperature 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; touching the ALARM button it will be possible to display the highest recorded temperatures.
Example of storing standard-sized bottles
