WINE DESCRIPTION

Opici Chianti (Straw) is a classic Italian wine produced by Opici Wines. It comes from the Chianti appellation, which is known for producing some of the best wines in Italy. The vineyards where the grapes are grown are located in the rolling hills of Tuscany, where the soil is rich in minerals and the climate is ideal for grape growing. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied red with a bright, straw-like color and a complex flavor profile that includes notes of cherry, plum, and spice. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods, making it a great choice for any occasion.
