Prince of the Langa, Nebbiolo can express itself at the highest levels even in wines that are less noble than Barolo. As in this case. Here Tenuta Cucco, thanks to its profound knowledge of the territory, succeeds in bottling a young and lively Nebbiolo that lends itself perfectly to an everyday table. This is also thanks to a unique production process. After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed, gently crushed and placed in vats to ferment at 24°C for 4 days. This is followed by a white fermentation, i.e. without the skins, after which, after a few racking operations, malolactic fermentation takes place. Matured in stainless steel until bottling, it "does not touch" wood. A pale ruby red colour, it has a vinous bouquet, followed by notes of flowers, such as roses and violets, and freshly picked fruit, such as currants, sour cherries, raspberries and strawberries, with a final hint of cocoa. In the mouth, there is a slightly pronounced acidity that dissolves into the sweet fruitiness, with discreet tannins. It goes well with snacks and aperitifs with bread, salami and cheese. It also goes well with meat dishes that are not too elaborate.
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.
