About this bottle
Smooth and nostalgic, Opici Homemade Barbarone 750mL evokes the Sunday dinner table of Italian-American households, where generous pitchers of robust red wine stood beside heaping bowls of pasta. Produced by the venerable Opici family, this approachable blend is crafted from sun-ripened California grapes vinified in a traditional “homemade” style that prizes fruit-forward flavor and easy drinkability. In the glass, its deep garnet hue hints at the lush characteristics to follow: aromas of blackberry jam, black cherry, and dried fig mingle with gentle notes of sweet baking spice and a faint whisper of vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied, velvety, and just off-dry, offering ripe dark fruit, cocoa, and a touch of black pepper before a smooth, soft finish that invites another sip. Pair it with classics like lasagna, grilled sausage, or sharp aged provolone, or simply enjoy a glass while unwinding after a long day.

The Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant TeamTasting notes
Nose
Ripe dark cherry leads, then plum, with a soft earthy note underneath that keeps it from feeling sweet. A little dusty, like fruit sitting in a wooden bowl.
Palate
Medium body, round and easy from the first sip. Dark cherry and plum again, gentle tannins that barely grip, enough acid to keep it moving. No oak shouting, just clean fruit.
Finish
Smooth and rounded, fades fairly quickly, leaving soft plum and a faint earthy trail. Nothing harsh at the end.
How to serve and what to pour it with
Serve it a touch below room temperature, maybe 60 to 65 degrees, in a wide red wine glass so the fruit opens up. No decanting needed; just pull the cork and let it breathe ten minutes. If it feels tight, a quick swirl does more than waiting.
