How long does a bottle of chianti stay fresh?

Once opened, a bottle of Chianti can stay fresh for about 3 to 5 days if stored properly, ideally in the refrigerator with a cork or wine stopper to minimize exposure to air. Unopened, a bottle of Chianti can last for several years, depending on its vintage and storage conditions. However, it's best consumed within a few years of its release for optimal flavor. Always check for any off smells or flavors before drinking, as these can indicate spoilage.
