Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Castello di Cigognola

Lombardy

Castello di Cigognola sits in the Oltrepò Pavese DOC zone in southern Lombardy, an area widely planted to Pinot Nero (Italy's largest concentration of the variety) and the local Croatina, bottled as Bonarda dell'Oltrepò Pavese. The estate's medieval castle anchors the village of Cigognola.

The Dodicidodici cuvée is the estate's headline Bonarda, named for the year (12 December) the estate was founded. The Barberasso is a Barbera-led red. The estate also makes Pinot Nero traditional-method sparkling wine.
