Cellatica
Wine · PDO · 5 municipalities
Established in 1973 in Lombardy, the Cellatica DOC covers five municipalities, including Gussago. What distinguishes Cellatica from neighbouring appellations is its specific genetic blueprint: a mandatory red blend requiring at least 30 percent each of Marzemino and Barbera, alongside a minimum of 10 percent of Schiava Gentile and the rare cross Incrocio Terzi n.1. This yields a sapid, dry red wine defined by a characteristically bitter aftertaste and a minimum 11.5 percent alcohol. Under the disciplinare, the Superiore designation acts as the aged tier, demanding a higher 12 percent alcohol and release no earlier than September 30 of the year following harvest.
