Discover Gutturnio Wine: The Secret Behind Piacenza’s Success!

In the sun-drenched vineyards of the Colli Piacentini, where rolling hills and a temperate climate create ideal growing conditions, one wine stands out above the rest—Gutturnio.

A flagship red and local icon, Gutturnio is a masterful blend of Barbera and Croatina (locally known as Bonarda), two native varietals that together deliver a wine of depth, complexity, and unmistakable character. Barbera lends bright acidity and firm structure, while Croatina brings plush fruit and soft tannins—resulting in a wine that is intensely ruby red, developing garnet hues with age.

On the nose, Gutturnio reveals a rich aromatic profile: ripe cherries, blackberries, and plums interlace with layers of black pepper, liquorice, and nutmeg. It’s a bouquet that is both powerful and elegant, drawing you in with each swirl.

On the palate, Gutturnio is full-bodied and expressive.

Barbera’s vibrancy is balanced by the smooth, rounded nature of Croatina,

producing a wine that is structured, balanced, and long on the finish, often with a touch of spice.

Its versatility at the table makes it a perfect companion to Piacenza’s traditional cuisine—from DOP cured meats and coppa piacentina, to tortelli con la coda, slow-cooked ragùs, grilled meats, and aged cheeses.
