History and Winemaking

OPRA is a unique rosé, obtained from 60-year-old Negroamaro vines grown with the traditional bush vine system. Production uses the traditional **”a Lacrima” method**, where the must is separated from the skins immediately after a brief maceration, obtaining a free-run must that imparts the intense coral pink color. This process ensures the structure of Negroamaro along with the freshness of a rosé.

Organoleptic Profile

Expert Opinion

Enrico Malgi on LucianoPignataro.it (2018 Vintage): “Suggestive the delicate floral persuasions and vegetal notes. Pleasant spicy breaths. The palate approach immediately measures a **fresh and flowing, elegant and suave, juicy and pulpy, graceful and harmonious** sip. Long, tapered, and enjoyable finish.”

The Rosé with the Soul of a Red – Structure, freshness, and the unique character of Negroamaro.
