frequently asked questions (FAQs)
At what temperature is Jan Petit 2020 wine recommended to be served?
To fully highlight its vibrant fruitiness and prevent its freshness from being dulled, it is advisable to serve it at a controlled temperature between 14°C and 16°C. During hot seasons or in summer, slightly chilling it to around 14°C will enhance its agile and pleasant sip.
What does it mean for a red wine to be organic?
It means that the Albet i Noya winery manages the vineyard 100% naturally, completely eschewing pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic chemical fertilizers. Instead, organic techniques such as cover crops and biological treatments are used, ensuring a wine that respects the health of the land and the consumer.
Is it necessary to decant Jan Petit before consuming?
It is not strictly necessary to decant it. Being a young and open wine, it expresses itself magnificently from the moment the bottle is uncorked. However, opening it about 10 minutes beforehand or enjoying it in medium-sized glasses will allow its subtle spicy Syrah notes to fully integrate with the fruit.
What is the aging potential of this 2020 vintage?
Jan Petit is conceived to delight us with the fullness of its fruitiness and youth in the short and medium term. It is recommended to consume it within the next 2 to 3 years to fully enjoy that energy and Mediterranean freshness so characteristic of the winery.
