I recommend decanting it first.
'Decantarlo' — stress on 'de-can-TÀR-lo'. Four syllables. The object pronoun 'lo' is attached.
Say this when opening a young tannic red or an old wine with sediment. Decanting aerates the wine and separates it from sediment.
'Decantare' = to decant. Decanting young wines exposes them to oxygen, softening tannins. Decanting old wines separates clear wine from sediment.
Lo faccia respirare nel bicchiere.
Let it breathe in the glass.
Swirling in the glass is a simpler alternative to decanting
Meglio aprirlo un'ora prima.
Better to open it an hour before.
Opening early allows slow aeration without decanting
Ha del sedimento, attenzione a versarlo.
It has sediment — be careful when pouring.
Warning about sediment in old bottles
Decanting is taken seriously in Italian fine dining. Top restaurants keep beautiful crystal decanters specifically for Barolo and Brunello. The ritual of decanting — holding the bottle to a candle to watch for sediment — is one of wine's great theatrical moments.
