Advice for preservation

preservation:

Bottles in recumbent position, in a cellar with constant hygrometry grade about 70-75%, without light to avoid the bad tastings and the advenced ageing of wine, maintain the temperature in a range about 10 and 15°C.
Avoid the temperature variation which damages the wine.
Never keep the wine in cardboard package.
To floodlight the cellar use a low intensity light, never use neon light.

A possible tartar deposit in the bottom of the bottle can exist. This is a natural phenomenon which not damages the wine quality..
On the contrary, this a fineness sign as any chemical or physical treatment has been done to  wine to avoid this fact.
