Description
Gutturnio Classico Riserva “Punctatum” is the result of a winemaking tradition deeply rooted in the hills of Castell’Arquato.
The focus begins in the vineyard: carefully hand-selected grapes, at the right level of ripeness, are harvested and then separated from the stalk, pressed and subjected to careful maceration that lasts an average of 11-13 days with frequent pumping over.
This initial phase is essential for extracting colors and aromas from the skins.
Subsequently, in the cellar, the wine is delicately racked and filtered and rests in vitrified cement tanks for six months.
Maturation continues for 12 months in 1000-liter Slavonian oak barrels, giving “Punctatum” an unparalleled complexity and depth.
Gutturnio Classico Riserva “Punctatum” draws its essence from the lush hills of Castell’Arquato, the beating heart of Emilia, located on the western border, so over the centuries it has also been influenced by the Piedmontese influence of full-bodied still red wines.
The Barbera and Bonarda vines, with an average age of 18 years, sink their roots into lean and particularly suitable soils.
These soils are rich in ferrettized clays, which give the wine a distinctive complexity and minerality.
This perfect union between vine and soil, between the hand of man and the generosity of nature, is reflected in every sip of “Punctatum”, telling a story of passion, tradition and an indissoluble bond with the territory of Casa Benna.
The refinement has taken place since 1990 in 1000-liter Slavonian oak barrels. This is because in our opinion it allows for a better balance and allows the wine to express itself to its full potential.

Punctatum takes its name from a particular species of woodworm that lives in the dry wood of the vine shoots called “Anobium Punctatum”.
These woodworms, represented on the label, once adults, in the summer afternoons, flutter in large numbers coming out of the woodshed where we store the Vidarò bundles, becoming prey of swallows that, being greedy for them, chirp a chirp of appreciation.
