Freshness, light-heartedness and tradition. All this can be found in this Gutturnio Superiore Terredellatosa, produced by the small winery La Tosa. A blend of Barbera (65%) and Croatina (35%), traditional vines of the Piacenza hills. In this case, all the grapes come from the estate vineyards known as Bel Sorriso, Morello, Ca' di Terra and Bellaria. These are plots at an altitude of around 200 metres, where the soils are clayey and loamy. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly delivered to the cellar for processing. The entire process is designed to respect the initial fruit as much as possible, with processing in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. No sulphites are added to the wine, either during processing or bottling. In the glass it has a beautiful red-purple colour with violet hues. The nose expresses youthfulness, thanks to intense and fresh aromas of red fruit, violets and peony. In the mouth, it is pleasantly clean, full and energetic, with a fresh and fruity finish. It is the perfect wine for pairing with good traditional local dishes. From cured meats to stuffed pasta. An easy wine, but not at all obvious.
The story of this small winery is linked to that of two brothers, born in Milan to a Piacenza-born mother from Vigolzone and a Milanese father. The passion for wine began to burn in Stefano at the age of seventeen and the purchase of a house to spend the holidays in the hills around Piacenza was the excuse to make that passion the reason for his existence. Supporting him is Ferruccio with whom, after a few years, the decision is made to purchase two plots of land bordering the house, one of which contains an old farmstead called - precisely - La Tosa. This was followed by the planting of the first vineyards and the start of a new activity, which became more and more involved. The quantum leap came in 1984 when, almost overnight, Stefano and Ferruccio decided to turn their hobby for the countryside into a full-fledged profession, dedicating themselves full-time to the work of winegrowers. It was in 1985 that they finally produced their first wine: a thousand bottles of Gutturnio in all. Since then, a lot has happened. Today, the company can count on a vineyard of around 19 hectares and a production that, of that first 'frizzantino', is only a distant memory!
