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.
