Opici Wines

Generally speaking, a bottle of wine should remain drinkable for about 2-5 days after opening -- assuming the bottle has been re-corked or the cap screwed back on, is kept out of sunlight, and the temperature remains fairly moderate and consistent. The less air in the bottle, the longer the wine will stay fresh. Keeping the bottle in a refrigerator (for whites, pinks, and reds) may extend its freshness.

Hi,

There is an account in Oviedo called Rogets Fine Wine and Beer that is a good supporter of our wines. Give them a try! Their website is www.rogetsoviedo.com.

Thanks!
Mr. O

Unfortunately, we no longer have a winery in Rancho Cucamonga. It was taken back by the government years ago through eminent domain. Opici wines live on however! We currently bottle many of our domestic wines in NY state, and we continue to make wines in Italy. Check out our website for a complete list of Opici Wines availabe in the US.

Thank you
Mr. O

Thanks for your interest in Meletti liqueurs! They are delicious. Unfortunately, we don't have distribution of the brand just yet in Texas. Your best bet is to find the wine through an online retailer that can ship to you.

You can search for any of our wines online through our website. Just choose the wine you want to find, and on the right side of the page you'll see a box that says "Find This Wine". Click on any of the three options - WineSearcher, WineZap, or Vinquire - and you'll get a list of retailers that can ship the wine to you. Feel free to email with any questions!

Thank you
Mr. O

Hi Frank,

We do sell in North Carolina through our distributors CHL and Fine Wine Trading. They should be able to provide you with a list of accounts near you that have our wines.

You can also find our wines online through retailers that can ship directly to you. Just find the wine you are looking for on our website and click one of the options under "Find This Wine" on the right side of the item page. You'll get a list of retailers that carry the wine and can ship to you.

Thanks!
Mr. O

This brings back memories! Unfortunately, we haven't produced our Port in many years. We used to have a vineyard in Cucamonga years ago where all our Opici California wines were produced. The vineyard hasn't been in operation for over 25 years and I don't believe it exists anymore. Now we have our wines bottled for us at other facilities. Enjoy the last of that Port - it is a classic!

Thank you
Mr. O

Shoprite in Wharton carries a lot of our wines. Please check them out and let me know if you have any trouble!

Thanks,
Mr. O

Our distributor in Arizona is Classico Wines, and they carry Il Poggio! Please give them a call for specific accounts in your area to whom they supply the wine.

Thanks,
Mr. O

Our distributor in Miami is the Opici Wine Co of Florida. Please contact them at 561 842 3113.

If you are looking for our distributors in other states, please choose "Distributors" at the bottom of the homepage. Select your state from the drop down menu for more info.

Thanks!
Mr. O

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for taking the time to email about this. You are not the first to express frustration with the change to 3L glass. The truth is we were forced to make this change - it was not something we wanted to do.

For years we've had trouble finding 4L glass at a reasonable price. It finally got to the point where we had to downsize to a more readily available size. The price of glass continued to rise, and we did the best we could to keep the pricing competitive.

Some of our competition have the ability to produce their own glass. We don't have that luxury. We have to get our glass from the small number of suppliers that have it and dictate the price. We even moved the bottling to a winery in NY state to try to reduce the cost. I assure you that we aren't trying to trick our loyal customers. This was a necessity if we wanted to continue selling Opici wines.

Please feel free to email with any other questions. We sincerely appreciate your continued support!

Mr. O

Absolutely not true! We continue to offer Homemade Barberone in 3L glass, and in the next few months we'll be introducing it in a 3L and 5L box! Homemade isn't going anywhere! May I ask where you are located?

Thanks
Mr. O

This is a tough one. It could any number of wines that we have. Do you remember if it said Opici on the front label, or was it another brand in the portfolio? Please let me know and I'll try to find it for you!

Thank you
Mr. O

Hi George,

We recently began working with Mexcor in Texas. They are going to carry the majority of the KWV portfolio. Please feel free to give them a call!

Thanks
Mr. O

Unfortunately, we don't have distribution of these wines in MA. Please check back soon!

At the moment we don't have any Greek wines in our portfolio. There is always a chance that we will add some in the future, so check back soon!

Thank you
Mr. O

We have helped retailers with their own label in the past. Please let me know what you are interested in and we'll try to help.

Thanks,
Mr. O

Hi Bob,

The grapes are still grown in California, and once harvested the juice is sent East to bottle.

Thanks,
Mr. O

At the moment, we only sell the fish bottle in the States. If you have an import license we'd be happy to send you some! Unfortunately, we don't have an importer in Australia that carries the wine currently.

Thanks,
Mr. O

Hi Dale,

Grand Pere wines carries some of the Cesari wines, including Amarone, Mara, and Valpolicella. Please give them a call for more details.

Thanks,
Mr. O

I think you are referring to the DOCG wines of Italy; if so, those codes are a way of counting the number of bottles produced. One of the requirements of DOCG status is to restrict the supply (and in turn keep the level of quality very high), and so these codes help track and confirm the wine's total production.

Joe, you most likely tasted one of the ports from KWV: KWV Cape Ruby Port or KWV Cape Tawny Port. It is available in Florida; you can ask your local retailer to order it from our distributor, Opici Wine Company of Florida. Glad you enjoyed it!

Our distributor in CT is our own Opici Wine Co of CT! We have our own distributors in four states (CT, FL, NY, NJ). In the rest of the country we work with other distributor partners.

Thanks,
Mr. O

Hi Lisa,

Please try Simply Wine and Liquor of Jericho. They have purchased Dogajolo this year and hopefully they have some left. You can also find the wine online and have it shipped to you. Please let me know if I can help with your search.

Thanks,
Mr. O

Hi Nina,

This is fantastic! I would love to see the photo if you can email me a copy.

Thanks,
Mr. O

Hope you enjoyed your visit! Unfortunately we do not import the Cathedral Cellar Pinotage at this time, though we do bring in their Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay. You can see more about those wines here: Cathedral Cellar.

We do import the KWV Cape Tawny Port; if you go to this page you can click on the icons on the right below the words "Find this wine" to see retailers in your area who carry it. The KWV Brandy is also imported, but in limited quantities so you may need to request a special order through your local retailer.

Mexcor is carrying about 15 of the KWV wines, including KWV Tawny Port. Is that the one you are looking for? Please give them a call, and if you have trouble feel free to contact us again.

Thank you,
Mr. O

Hi Salvatore,

Thanks for your email. We frequently get asked if we are interested in representing wines, and we usually consider most that come our way. However, at this time we aren't looking to add to the portfolio. If anything changes I will let you know. Thanks for thinking of us.

Mr. O

Thanks and happy holidays to you! Not sure which Amarone wine you're referring to, but visit one of these two pages; both retail for under $50: La Colombaia Amarone and Cesari Amarone. Could it have been a "Ripasso"? Such as this: Cesari Mara ?

Hi Richie,

I have spoken to the winery and they will correct the problem. Please let me know if you continue to have issues with the cap. Thank you for taking the time to contact us, and thanks for supporting our wines!

Mr. O

At this time the only wines we have in 3L box are Opici Sangria and Opici Homemade. The Chianti is only available in glass. If that changes in the future I will let you know. Thanks for supporting our wines!

Mr. O

Now! The 2006 vintage has been released, so there is no reason to wait on the 2005. Hope you enjoy it!

Our Lambrusco is bottled as a "non-vintage", meaning, the grapes used for it may come from several different years -- this ensures that the quality and taste of the wine will be consistent. There is more information about Opici Lambrusco on our website, right here: Opici Lambrusco. If you enjoy Lambrusco you may also be interested in two new ones we now import from Donelli; see this page: Donelli Winery

We currently don't have distribution of these wines in AZ. Please follow this link for a list of retailers that have the wines and can ship them to you - http://www.wine-searcher.com/find/magliano.

We offer many! To find them all, see the "Search Site" box at the top right of any page on our website. In that box, click on the words "Advanced Wine Search", and a selection of drop-down boxes will appear, allowing you to search by many characteristics, including sweetness.

Our Opici Chianti is available all over the state of FL in many retailers. If your local shop doesn't carry it, ask them to order some for you. Our distributor in FL can deliver next day. Please let me know if I can help with anything else!

Yes! New Hampshire carries many of the wines imported and produced by Opici Wines. If you browse to a specific wine page on our site, you can locate a retailer carrying that wine by clicking on the icons in the right sidebar underneath the "find this wine" headline.

Thanks for being a fan of our Homemade! For a short time PA stopped selling our wine, but because of loyal fans like you voicing your disappointment, the wine is back! It is available in a 3L size only now. The price may have gone up, but the state sets the price. I wish I could help with that. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!
Mr. O

Hi,

I'd be happy to send you a list, but we are only permitted to sell to licensed distributors. We can't sell directly to consumers. If you are an account looking to purchase our wines, let me know your location and I can put you in touch with our distributor in your area.

Thanks for your interest in our wines!
Mr. O

Our Chianti is bottled in NY now, but the juice is still coming from California. Let me know where you are located and I'll try to find an account near you.

Thanks!
Mr. O

It's hard to say how old the wine is since its non vintage. It's not a particularly expensive wine, and it's not one that is meant to age, so I wouldn't say its very valuable (except for the fact that its a gift from your mom!). Drink it the next time you have a special occasion.

Thanks!
Mr. O

Our Barberone is a proprietary blend that we like to keep a secret! The main grape is Ruby Cabernet from California. We are bottling the wine in NY, but the juice is coming from California. I hope that helps.

Thanks!
Mr. O

Yes we do! Unfortunately, we can't ship directly to consumers. We are only permitted to sell to licensed distributors around the country. Please let me know if you are a distributor and I'd be happy to provide the wine. If you are a consumer, check out the Find This Wine section on the Bigi Orvieto Classico Amabile page.

Thanks!
Mr. O

Hi Ed,

Our Homemade Barberone is typically less expensive in the NY/NJ area. We distribute the wine ourselves in those states, so that keeps the cost down. Also, distributors in the rest of the country have freight costs associated with shipping the wine to them, while we don't have those costs locally. The two factors combined almost always make the wine more expensive in the rest of the country. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions.

Thanks,
Mr. O

Thanks for your interest in Cocoa di Vine! We think its pretty fabulous too! United Distributors is carrying the wine in GA. Please contact them for a list of accounts in your area that have the wine. Or, ask your local store to order it for you from United. They will know how to get in touch with them.

We are on the verge of having distribution of Cocoa di Vine in MI! Please have your local retailer contact our distributor, Vintage, to place an order soon. Thanks!

We've been importing wines from Italy since our early days in the business. However, we only see our wines in the United States. Hopefully one day we'll be able to offer them around the world! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Mr. O

Hi,

I'd be happy to help you find what you are looking for. Please let me know which wine in our portfolio you are trying to find.

Thanks,
Mr. O

Hi James,

Thanks for your interest in Cocoa di Vine! Unfortunately, we aren't permitted to sell directly to consumers. However, there are plenty of retailers that you can order from. Follow this link for a list - http://www.wine-searcher.com/find/cocoa+di+vine.
Please let me know if I can answer any other questions.

Thanks again,
Mr. O

This wine comes from the Carpineto winery. A. Zaccheo is short for Antonio Zaccheo, one of the founders of Carpineto. That's about all I can tell you about it. I'd open one and give it a try!

Good news - Meletti Limoncello is gluten free! We hope you enjoy it!

Thanks,
Mr. O

Thanks for your email. This wine isn't meant for aging and doesn't have any significant value. It's quite an old vintage now, so don't waste another day and try it! It's probably not going to be at its best, but that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy it! Let me know if you have any other questions.
