Duca di Saragnano L'Opera Rosso 2023

Price: $21.99

98/100 | Luca Maroni

Holy Moly! What a discovery!

As we always say, when noted Italian wine critic Luca Maroni gives a red wine in this price point 98pts, it's time to give us your full attention - and we can say with hand on heart that this opulent primitivo blend was a 'smashed it out the park'  winner when we tried it with the importer in March 2025.

If you like your reds full-bodied, flavour packed and velvet smooth, we are playing your song here - and l'Opera is a chart topping #1 hit. This plush red is primitivo dominant. Small parcels of nero d'avola, syrah & sangiovese add extra spice and luxe mouthfeel to a wine that swaggers with confidence and charm, and this wonderful new discovery is so friendly that it's perfect to enjoy with or without food. Such is the weight and rounded texture that Aussie Shiraz fans will find lots to like here - but those savoury Italian flavour profiles always remain centre stage.

This wine comes very highly recommended. Get your share.

Tasting Notes

The winery writes "Body and flavours of this wine
combine harmoniously themselves in a symphony of purple and deep red colour, of
warm and enchanting bouquet characterized by ripe red fruits and sweet spices
scents. Full bodied and round, L'Opera resonates of intensity and flair."
