FEATURES

The Right Environment for Your Wines

A grapevine is an extremely sensitive plant. From the time it is planted until its maturing period and the time the
grapes are harvested and the wine is made, it is dependent on three factors: light, air humidity and ambient tempera-
ture.

This sensitivity continues even after the wine is bottled.

To allow the flavor of the wine to fully develop or to preserve the excellent aroma, the wine has to be stored at optimal
conditions. Your wine cooler offers the best conditions for this.

Wines only develop their full flavor and aroma when they are at the right temperature for drinking.

In your wine cooler, wines can be brought slowly and evenly to the ideal drinking temperature.

Red wines and white wines can be stored at the same time at the optimal drinking temperature in two separately
adjustable temperature zones.
