peer agreement (net): +1maturation/ageing in bottle/bottle ageing/maturation Explanation: The more correct Italian term is "affinamento in bottiglia", which refers to the maturation/ageing of the wine in the cellar before release. "Finitura" is not usual in this context in Italian, and neither is "finishing" in English for that matter. I've added notes to the appropriate glossary entries. Thanks for pointing that out, Giuliana. Giles |
