Tasting Notes: With a delicate color that evokes the Belvedere variety of roses, on the palate it has the freshness of a white, with a marked acidity, and a finish that recalls wild strawberries, immediately evident on the nose.

Notes: After fermentation, which lasts about ten days, the wine remains on the fine lees until bottling. Only steel tanks are used to preserve the freshness and authenticity of the aromas.

Food pairing: Aperitifs, raw fish, summer salads and white meats.

The Domain: Tenuta Cucco began as a winery in the 1960s. In the local dialect, “cucco” indicates the hilltop location of the oldest part of the vineyard, which is inside the Cru Cerrati. 

The winery offers a breathtaking view of the peaks of Mount Monviso, the hills with vineyards, and the Castle of Serralunga d’Alba, with its remarkable narrow structure, in an iconic Italian landscape.

The grapes of Cru Cerrati and Vigna Cucco have a long history of excellence: for centuries, local winemakers have prized them for their unique qualities and characteristics, using them only to produce their finest Barolo wines.

In 1966, the Cappellano family sold Tenuta Cucco to the Stroppiana family, which in turn constructed the first winery. Towards the end of 2015, the estate passed to the Rossi Cairo family, which for 18 years has run the organic and biodynamic farm La Raia in Novi Ligure. Here, they produce Gavi DOCG and Piemonte Barbera DOC certified by Demeter, promoting an agriculture that is not only sustainable but that also preserves the vitality of the soil for future generations to enjoy.
