Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Tagliatelle alla Bolognese

In Emilia-Romagna, wines that combine Barbera and Bonarda grapes are known locally as "Gutturnio." This hyper-earthy, terroir-driven Gutturnio made by female winemaker and owner, Daniela Rigamonti, is backed by dusty, rustic tannins, deep red cherry fruit, and brooding layers of leather and tar.
