Tenuta Cucco Serralunga d’ Alba Barolo
$49.99
The Tenuta Cucco Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba opens with classic Nebbiolo aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and dried rose petals, layered with hints of licorice, menthol, and crushed herbs.
On the palate, it is elegant yet powerful, showing the depth and minerality typical of Serralunga’s calcareous soils. The tannins are firm but refined, balanced by lively acidity that carries flavors of spiced red fruit, leather, and subtle tobacco through a long, savory finish.
Still youthful, this Barolo will continue to develop beautifully over the next decade or more, revealing greater complexity and harmony with age.

Description
The aristocracy of Piedmontese wines is represented by a wine of ancient and noble origins, Barolo. Also made from Nebbiolo grapes, Barolo requires a minimum ageing of 38 months before being able to bear the name. As part of the ageing period, a minimum of 18 months in wood is required that enriches the wine in all respects. Garnet red colour with orange reflections, intriguing, complex bouquet and a full-bodied, austere flavour make Barolo a pearl on the world wine scene. To best appreciate its sensory characters, it is recommended to open the bottle at least 3 hours before tasting.
