Bonelli 'Tesor' - Gutturnio Riserva DOC

In 2019, Cantine Bonelli in the Trebbia Valley hills crafted this remarkable Gutturnio Riserva DOC. It's a blend of Barbera and Croatina, hailing from Emilia - Romagna, Italy. The winery's balanced woods - vineyard ecosystem gives birth to this earthy gem. 'Tesor', meaning 'treasure' in Italian, truly lives up to its name. This wine bursts with blackberry, fresh raspberry, shaved cocoa, and toasted cedar notes, offering beautiful complexity and concentration. It pairs perfectly with a blue cheese burger or a mushroom risotto.

To enjoy this wine, first let it breathe for about 30 minutes after opening to enhance its flavors. Pour it into a wine glass and take in the rich aroma. You can drink it at room temperature, but a slight chill around 60 - 64°F (15 - 18°C) can make it even more refreshing. When pairing, remember it goes well with blue cheese burgers or mushroom risotto as mentioned. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place, and once opened, keep it in the fridge and consume within 2 - 3 days to maintain its quality.
