About this wine
by Michèle Shah
Mossi 1558 estate is located in the Colli Piacentini in the very west corner of Emilia-Romagna, near Oltrepò Pavese (southern border of Lombardia) with 75ha of vineyards.
Impetuoso is labelled under the Gutturnio DOC Classico Superiore and made from 60% Barbera, 40% Croatina.
It is a perfect example of the appellations’ blend of two local varieties, characterized by fragrant cherry, and brambly red berries which mingle with delicate floral aromas on the nose. While on the palate its red ripe fruity quality is well reflected showing vivacious acidity, reminiscent of crushed cherry and pomegranate, supported by a backbone of tannic structure, with a fresh and intense finish. Impetuoso is a versatile dry red wine, easy to match to charcuterie, cheeses, roast meats, chicken, pasta and risotto.
Excellent value wine.
