The story

The story behind Opici

Opici Marsala comes from Sicily, inside the Marsala DOC, and the family behind it has been in American wine since 1913. Joseph and Esther Opici, Italian immigrants, built the importing business that formally took shape in 1934, right after Prohibition ended. That history is why this bottle sits on our shelf and not in a supermarket cooking-wine bin.

The blend is native Sicilian white grapes: 35% Catarratto, 35% Grillo, 30% Inzolia. It is fortified with distilled grape spirits to 17% ABV and made under DOC rules, with no caramel coloring and no flavor stretchers. The golden-amber color comes from blending older reserves into the multi-vintage wine. We have sold it for decades because it behaves the same every time.

Buying guidance

Which Opici is right for you?

The 750mL Opici Marsala is $7.99, and that is the bottle most people should start with. Step up to the 1.5L at $12.99 and you are paying about four dollars more for double the wine, which is the smart buy if you deglaze pans often. The 3L is $17.99 and earns its space at a big dinner. The Dry Marsala and Sweet Marsala 750mL list at $9.99 when in stock. Nothing here is precious, and nothing here tastes cheap.
