Gutturnio DOC Sparkling Red 2023 Saccomani

Gutturnio is the symbolic red wine of the Piacenza Hills, born from the union of Barbera and Croatina — the two historic grape varieties of these hills, complementary by nature: Barbera brings acidity, structure, and color; Croatina adds softness, body, and that slight tannicity that gives the wine its rustic and gastronomic character. Saccomani vinifies it as always: maceration on the skins for about 8 days with indigenous yeasts, spontaneous fermentation on the clayey and silty soils of Diolo, then natural refermentation in the bottle in spring without selected yeasts or additives. The result is a dry, sparkling red that brings all the frank character of the Piacenza tradition to the glass — crisp fruit, lively bubbles, immediate savoriness — with that slight sediment at the bottom which is a guarantee of authenticity.
