Gutturnio DOC is a red wine from Emilia-Romagna in north-east Italy.
Wine style: 55-70% Barbera, 30-45% Croatina. ‘Barbera gives acidity, Bonarda [meaning Croatina] gives soft, fleshy fruit. Its name derives from gutturnium, a large drinking cup from which the wines of the Piacenza hills [see Colli Piacentini DOC] were quaffed by the Romans,’ (David Gleave MW: 1989, p.82).
