Villa Oppi's Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Val d'Arda, in the hills of Piacenza in Emilia-Romagna. The grapes spend 12 days on their skins in steel, then the wine ages in oak casks and at least six months in bottle.

The disciplinare, the place, the label
01
DOC, DOCG, IGT: what the badges mean
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Colli Piacentini is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.

Drinking + cellar
Decanting
1 hour
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
