At lovelly Piacenza, Italy, on September 28, 2008, I had a regional pearl: the red 2001 "Diacono Gerardo 1028", a Gutturnio Riserva, Doc Colli Piacentini.
According to their site the strange name comes "from an ancient document recording how a certain Deacon Gerardo bequeathed the lands at Fornello to a noble family in the year 1028, a date which marked the beginning of the history of Fornello as a small feudal estate". The harvest takes place in October...see Torre Fornello
