Tenuta Cucco Barolo

Melo Tenuta Cucco Barolo DOCG is a red wine from the Barolo appellation in Piedmont, Italy, made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. The vineyards are in Serralunga d'Alba, known for its clay-limestone soils and ideal altitude, contributing to the wine’s structure and aging potential. The wine is aged 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by 12 months in bottle, allowing it to develop complexity and elegance.

This Barolo offers aromas of withered rose, undergrowth, prunes, licorice, and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins and lively acidity, balanced by sweet fruit notes and evolved hints of tobacco and dried herbs. The finish is long and persistent.

Contains sulphites.

• Braised red meats and game
• Aged cheeses such as Parmigiano-Reggiano or Gorgonzola
• Classic Piedmontese dishes like brasato al Barolo or vitello alla Piemontese
