Tips
Decanting
The right storage and the right preparation
can literally transform a wine. Decanting
involves delivering purified oxygen to wine
to enhance flavors, creating a softer texture
and introducing dynamic tastes.
It is important to set the right oxygenating
time as excess oxygen can result in loss of fruit
characters, reduced aroma, and bitterness.
Refer to experts’ recommendation in this
booklet or iFAVINE Mini app. Also we
recommend trying different settings as the
ideal decanting time can vary depending on
personal taste and wine age. In general, highly
extracted, heavily wooded, youthful, or reds
need longer decanting, while the more delicate,
aged, or whites only need light decanting.
NOTE
We recommend you to try short cycles multiple
times to figure out the ideal duration, as
decanting too much can ruin the wine.
Highly Purified & Concentrated Oxygen
The So2mmelier filters the ambient air to
remove any impurities (moisture, dust, odors)
and isolates oxygen from nitrogen and CO2.
It aerates wine with a constant flow of purified
and highly concentrated oxygen. This means
that any wine will be served with a constant
quality no matter when or where it is decanted.
