Oenology



The origin of a wine respected in his own style, personality and balance.

Opus Wine, marrying this new winemaking philosophy, seeks to enhance the potential of the company relying on the production area, the grape varieties grown and the work of man in order to enhance the personality of the future wine, working on the following points:

1) to interpret the taste and style of the wine to be produced so that it can convey the idea of the territory satisfying from an organoleptic point of view the taste of the consumer;

2) to orient certain practices of growing and harvesting in order to catalyze in grapes the territoriality and to transfer it in wine in the best physiological moment;

3) to adjust winemaking, aging and fining techniques aimed to respect the quality of grapes and pass them to wine.
