Gutturnio Superiore DOC "La Barbona", 2018 vintage. After crushing, this wine macerates for 40 days, with daily pump-overs. Fermentation takes place with selected yeasts at a temperature of 24-26°C. The wine is then placed in barriques for 14 months. The result is a wine with an intense ruby red color and a mature bouquet of fruit and leather, with an authoritative flavor rich in fruit. The alcoholic strength of this wine is well integrated in the finish, with notes of wood and licorice. The Gutturnio DOC from the Piacenza hills "La Barbona" pairs perfectly with red meats, game, and aged cheeses, such as the typical local Grana Padano. The winery will always provide the best available vintage; for requests for specific vintages, you can include them in the order notes and we will do our best to accommodate you.
