As always, the risotto should be consumed as soon as it is done. You can cook it together with your partner immediately after enjoying the aperitif, perhaps sipping a glass of bubbles. In any case, if you have any leftovers, you can place it in the refrigerator for a couple of days and reheat it in a pan before consuming it.
