A precious cru in the heart of Ca’ Bolani, a two-thousand-year history that began in the Rome of the consul Opimio, remembered by Petronio Arbitro for the
quality of the wines produced under his rule. A representative terroir of DOC Aquileia and of the fine grapes of the Pinot Bianco bunches. These are the
ingredients of this great white wine capable of creating intense sensations when young and deep emotions with aging. The unique vineyard is enclosed in a small
extension admirably integrated into the environment: the old vines, the rapid pressing, the fermentation at low temperature, the patient aging in large barrels
enhance its essential features. In the glass we will find the varietal nuances, the taste of ripe fruit, the accents of old wood, a strong scent and a broad sip

SOIL TYPE
The soil has a medium density structure that is crossed by drainage layers of gravel and siliceous matter.

TRAINING METHOD
Guyot.

VINIFICATION AND AGEING
Only the best grapes are selected to produce Opimio. Collected by hand and placed in small 13-15 kg boxes, the Pinot Bianco grapes are promptly
transported to the cellar. Keeping the grapes at a low temperature allows the achievement of an exceptional concentration and aromatic complexity. After
one day and one night the whole bunches are subject to soft pressing. The resulting first-pressing must is fermented with the help of selected yeasts
at a controlled temperature ranging between 16° C and 18° C. Fermentation and aging take place in 25 hl elliptical oak barrels. After a long ripening of 8
months on the yeasts, Opimio ages in bottle for further 6 months.
