2022 Montagna Mare
Every month, our team highlights a wine that captures the heart of what we do at Opolo. For June, we’re featuring our 2022 Montagna Mare— our signature interpretation of the Italian varietal experience, blending Barbera and Sangiovese to create a uniquely expressive wine from our eastside Paso Robles estates.
Why We Think You’ll Love This Wine:
As our signature blend of estate-grown Barbera and Sangiovese, Montagna Mare is all about delivering a classic Italian-style wine experience. The name Montagna Mare—which combines the Italian words for ‘mountain’ and ‘sea’—speaks to the coastal Mediterranean terroirs of Paso Robles, and to the Italian terrains in which Barbera and Sangiovese are traditionally grown. The 2022 vintage is a distinctive blend with lively textures and delicious red fruit flavors, making it an easy-drinking complement to barbecue, pizza and hearty beef dishes.
Tasting Notes & Blend
The 2022 vintage displays bright aromas of cranberry, strawberry, Mediterranean herbs and light spices. Lively textures tantalize the palate with flavors of pomegranate, cherry, plum skin and dried tarragon. Vivid acidity lingers on a fresh, lifted finish.
64% Barbera, 34% Sangiovese, 2% Petite Sirah
