- Serve at 14-16°C. Cellar temperature (14-16°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
- Glassware. Use a Burgundy bowl with a wide opening: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.

History
PSI is a collaborative project by Peter Sisseck with small family growers across Ribera del Duero, who farm their own old vines under guidance from the Pingus team. Launched with the 2007 vintage, it offers a more accessible introduction to the Sisseck philosophy.
