Opici Wines & Spirits Adds Two More Italian Stars to Their Lineup
Posted on April 01, 2021
Glen Rock, NJ (April 1, 2021): Opici Wines & Spirits is expanding two of its prominent Italian wine brands with Alverdi Piemonte DOC Barbera and Cesari Justo IGT, a Veronese red blend.
Alverdi, best known for its Pinot Grigio, will be launching the brand’s first DOC-appellated wine with the Piemonte Barbera. The wine is fruit-forward in style with notes of cherry and blackberry and rustic characteristics on the finish. The label will share the same unique and modern design as the rest of the Alverdi portfolio, but with a purple hue to pay homage to the deep, dark colors often found in Barbera grapes.
