Cucco, in the local dialect, is the top of the hill where the estate's oldest vineyard is located, within the Cerrati cru. Tenuta Cucco was established as a winery in the 1960s and enjoys a breathtaking view of the peaks of Monviso, with the vine-covered hills surrounding it and a glimpse of the Castle of Serralunga d'Alba which, with its unmistakable slender and narrow structure, is an icon of the Italian landscape. In recent years Tenuta Cucco has been owned by the Stroppiana family, who bought it in turn in 1966 from the Cappellano family and built the winery's first cellar. At the end of 2015 it was taken over by the Rossi Cairo family, who have been running a beautiful Demeter-certified biodynamic farm for years. The vineyards of Tenuta Cucco insist on the oldest portion of the ancient land of Barolo and enjoy an ideal altitude that allows the tannins of Nebbiolo to be further highlighted. And to have guaranteed the best temperature range, fundamental for the ripening of the fruit. 13 hectares cultivated with different grape varieties. The main one is undoubtedly Nebbiolo, alongside Dolcetto, Chardonnay and Barbera.
