Bonelli - Gutturnio Superiore - Red Blend

This 2020 red wine blend from Cantine Bonelli hails from the DOC Gutturnio Superiore region in Emilia - Romagna, Italy. Self - taught winemaker Anacleto Bonelli established the winery in 1946 to boost the Trebbia Valley. Now run by the third and fourth generations of the Bonelli family, it's an organic winery that uses only grapes native to the Colli - Piacentini region. Gutturnio, named after an ancient Roman wine jug 'gutturnium', is a prestigious location in the area. This dry and full - bodied blend consists of 60% Barbera and 40% Bonarda (locally known as Croatina). It ages for 4 - 6 months in Slavonian oak casks before release. It offers powerful red and black fruit flavors like cherry, plum, red currant, and blueberry, along with a touch of earthiness and spice. Perfectly paired with bolognese or roasted pork.

To enjoy this Bonelli Gutturnio Superiore red wine blend, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes after opening. This will enhance its aroma and flavor. Serve it at a temperature of around 60 - 64°F (15 - 18°C). It goes really well with bolognese or roasted pork, so plan your meals accordingly. When storing, keep the bottle in a cool, dark place. If you have some left over, re - cork it tightly and place it in the fridge. Try to finish it within a couple of days to enjoy its best taste.
