How to Store Mare Santo
Mare Santo carries the memory of the sea and your role is to preserve it.
Temperature
Mare Santo prefers quiet places.
Store it at 10–12°C (50–54°F) - cool, steady, and away from sudden changes.
Wine that’s lived under the sea doesn’t enjoy surprises.
A dark cabinet, a wine fridge, or the corner of a cellar works perfectly.
Position
Lay the bottle horizontally.
This keeps the cork moist and the pressure even,
both essential to preserving the fine bubbles and the marine tension inside.
Keep it out of the light.
Sunlight fades color, heat disrupts balance.
This is a wine shaped by shadows - it should rest in them.
Avoid Movement
Once it’s in place, let it stay.
No shaking, no rotating.
The more still it remains, the more gracefully it will evolve.
One Last Thought
You’re not storing it.
You’re letting it breathe, until the right moment comes.

How Long to Keep It
You can enjoy Mare Santo now, or wait.
Stored properly, it holds its character for up to 2 years - sometimes longer.
What you’ll taste later might be deeper, quieter, more mineral.
Like the sea, it changes slowly.
