Vermentino
Filter
Vermentino- Also planted as “Pigato” in Liguria and known as “Rolle” in Southern France. It is a white grape grown in Southern France, Northern Italy, and the islands of Corisca and Sardina. Vermentino is known for appealing aromas and produces invigorating acidity with green and citrus notes on the palate. In Tuscany, however, the wine presents depth and complexity in floral and slightly soapy qualities. Vermentino grapes are often compared to Viognier when grown in Northern Italy. All Vermentino is meant to be consumed while young and fresh. The grapes are amber-yellow and hang in pyramidal bunches. Vermentino is also used as a blender in varietal wines such as Colli di Luni and Cinque Terre. The first DOCG of Sardinia was Vermentino di Gallura. Sardinia is careful to pick the Vermentino grapes early in order to ensure the favorable crisp and fresh characteristics. Some DOCs in Liguria use the Vermentino grapes to produce a dry passito, even though this type of grape is not associated with sweet wines, and having virtually no residual sugar. The Southern France region of Provence has allowed the Vermentino grape to be used in some AOC production. The United States and Australia have also been growing Vermentino varietals and are having much success in producing wines with crisp, floral, and tart characteristics.

Opus One 2021 is made from 93%, Cabernet Franc 4%, Petit Verdot 2%, Merlot 0.5%, and Malbec 0.5%.
The Opus One 2021 effuses seductive, dark-fruit aromas of crushed cassis, blackberry, and black cherry with subtle hints of violet, vanilla, and baking spices. Bright and fresh on the attack, concentrated flavors mirror the aromas and are coupled with an exceptionally plush, creamy texture in the mid-palate from the fine-grained tannins. Poignant notes of black tea, licorice, and dark chocolate lead to
Of the great European wine families, the Rothschilds are perhaps the best known. And Baron Philippe de Rothschild is perhaps the best known of this great family. At the age of 20, Baron Philippe took on the management of Château Mouton Rothschild from his father Baron Henri. Philippe’s vision changed the world of wine: he invented Château bottling, commissioned great artists to illustrate his wine labels – and, in partnership with Robert Mondavi in 1979, created Opus One.In the 1980s, after her father’s death, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild left a stage career that included the Comédie Française and the Renault-Barrault Theatre Company, bringing her own exquisite style and creativity to the design, construction, and operation of Opus One.Among great New World wine pioneers, Robert Mondavi is an international icon. Bringing a passion for excellence to everything he did, Robert Mondavi led a renaissance in California fine wine for over six decades. Among other accomplishments, he introduced temperature-controlled fermentation, French oak barrel aging, and high-density viticulture to a fledgling American wine industry. But life was not only wine for Robert Mondavi: he broadened the American cultural palate by marrying fine wine to food, music, and the arts. One of few Americans to have received the French medal of the Legion of Honor, Robert Mondavi showed extraordinary vision as co-founder of Opus One.
Review:
An enticing aroma of violets, cherry blossoms, fresh blue and black fruit and great structure define this beautiful, age-worthy wine. Subtle layering of fruit and oak spices between firm, fine-grained and supportive tannins gives it a calm intensity. So elegant and polished. Hints of cinnamon and graphite accent blackcurrant and blueberry flavors that linger and grow in a long finish. Already attractive to drink, but best after 2029.
