On the nose, it opens with a clear aromatic profile of apple, pear and lemon, enriched by hints of incense and almond. The \u003cstrong\u003evibrant and savoury palate\u003c\/strong\u003e is fresh and structured, displaying subtle notes of aged wood. Thanks to its \u003cstrong\u003epersistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, this wine ensures a \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e with fish starters, shellfish, white meats and first courses with delicate sauces, evolving beautifully over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from a cru enclosed within the Ca Bolani vineyards in the locality of Ca’ Vescovo, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The soil has a \u003cstrong\u003emedium-textured structure\u003c\/strong\u003e with draining layers of gravelly texture, ideal for imparting savouriness. The climate is tempered by the \u003cstrong\u003emild breezes of the Adriatic\u003c\/strong\u003e, alternating sunny days for perfect ripening with cool nights, essential for preserving primary aromas. The \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e, trained using the Guyot system, sink their roots into a place whose winemaking history recalls ancient Rome and the consul Opimius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, the bunches are kept at low temperatures to concentrate their aromatic qualities. In the winery, gentle crushing is followed by rapid pressing. The free-run must undergoes \u003cstrong\u003elow-temperature fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e with selected yeasts, preserving the integrity of the fruit. Ageing takes place in large \u003cstrong\u003eelliptical oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the wine rests for eight months on the lees, gaining depth of flavour, before completing its maturation in the bottle prior to tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name of this label pays tribute to Consul Opimius, whose winemaking excellence in ancient Rome was celebrated by Petronius Arbiter.
