Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Massimiliano Croci's Gutturnio is a bottle-refermented frizzante from organic Barbera and Croatina (Bonarda) at Castell'Arquato in the Piacenza hills: co-fermented with native yeasts, rested in large casks, then bottled to finish fermenting and left undisgorged and unfiltered, so it may pour slightly cloudy. Dry, gently fizzy and lively, with sour cherry, blackberry and plum, a violet lift, earthy lees notes and Barbera's bright acidity against Croatina's grip.

Where it comes from

Emilia-Romagna — A large region spanning north-central Italy, from the Apennine foothills across a broad plain to the Adriatic.
Barbera
Barbera is a red grape from the Piedmont region of northwest Italy, long the everyday red of the area and now taken seriously enough to rival its noble neighbour Nebbiolo in quality-minded hands.
Croatina
Croatina is a red grape from northern Italy, most at home in the hills of Oltrepò Pavese in Lombardy and the neighbouring Colli Piacentini in Emilia.
