Gutturnio frizzante

Enjoying a lunchtime glass of slightly chilled Gutturnio frizzante red. Dry with crunchy cherry flavours and mild grip, pairs perfectly with antipasti of local salami and prosciutto.  A blend of Barbera and Croatina made in Emilia-Romagna. Refreshing in the heat. Cincin!

This wine is unlikely to be readily available here in the UK but you could try a Lambrusco. Look out for dryer Brut styles and subregions such as Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC.
