Gutturnio
Wine · PDO · 18 municipalities
Recognised as a DOC since 2011, Gutturnio is a distinctive red wine produced across 18 municipalities in Emilia-Romagna, including Agazzano and Castel San Giovanni. What sets this denomination apart from its regional peers is its precise varietal blend, requiring a minimum of 55% Barbera combined with at least 30% Croatina, locally known as Bonarda. This specific assembly yields a bright ruby-red wine with a characteristic vinous aroma and a minimum alcohol content of 12.0% vol for its base frizzante style. Uniquely, the strict production rules also permit vinification to take place outside the primary zone, extending into the municipality of Rovescala within the neighboring province of Pavia.
