Serve at the Right Temperature: Pour Petit Verdot slightly below room temperature to highlight dark fruit intensity while balancing the full body and robust tannins of this powerful varietal.
Use the Proper Wine Glass: Choose a large bordeaux glass for optimal aeration and tannin softening, a standard red wine glass for everyday drinking, or a universal glass for casual pours.
Let It Breathe Before Drinking: Let Petit Verdot breathe 45–60 minutes to soften firm tannins and develop complex flavors.
Sip and Enjoy the Intensity: Take small sips to taste blackberry and violet, appreciate full body and structured tannins, and enjoy Petit Verdot’s bold, age-worthy, concentrated character.
