Identificación del vino
El Tenuta Cucco Cerrati "Vigna Cucco" Riserva 2015 es un vino tinto producido por la bodega Tenuta Cucco en Italia. Pertenece a la DOCG Barolo, dentro de la región del Piamonte. La añada es 2015 y la uva es 100% Nebbiolo.

Procedencia y elaboración
La uva proviene de un viñedo específico de 1,5 hectáreas ubicado en Cerrati, dentro del pueblo de Serralunga d'Alba. La parcela, denominada Vigna Cucco, se sitúa a una altitud entre 380 y 420 metros sobre el nivel del mar, con una orientación hacia el sur y sureste. El suelo es calcáreo-arcilloso y de escasa profundidad.

La vinificación comienza con el despalillado y prensado de la uva. La fermentación alcohólica se realiza en depósitos de acero inoxidable de 50 hectolitros, manteniéndose a 26°C durante 10 días. Posteriormente, se lleva a cabo una maceración en sombrero sumergido durante 30 días a 22°C. Tras la fermentación maloláctica, el vino reposa durante 36 meses en barricas de roble francés. Antes de su comercialización, el vino pasa por un reposo mínimo de dos años en botella.

Perfil y puntuaciones
Se trata de un vino de gran estructura y carácter, definido por la crianza prolongada en roble francés que otorga complejidad. Sobre su calidad y expresión, James Suckling le otorga una puntuación de 94 puntos.

James Suckling: 94

Intense notes of plum, cherry jam and spices make up its nose and also move to a relatively powerful palate, with a still very firm tannin, and to its long finish. With a lot of sapid strength and potential. It still needs some time to settle and achieve greater smoothness, which it will undoubtedly achieve. Recommended consumption: from 2023.

The vineyard was famous before the winery existed. Grapes from Vigna Cucco were fought over by local growers to blend into some of Serralunga's most respected Barolos, long before there was a label of its own. "Cucco" means hilltop in Piedmontese dialect, and it names the highest, oldest part of the vineyard, inside the Cerrati cru.

The winery arrived in 1966, when the Cappellano family sold the estate to the Stroppiana, who built the first cellar; the first Barolo Serralunga d'Alba came out in 1967. The rest of the range appeared slowly: Vigna Cucco in 1986, Cerrati in 1996 and Bricco Voghera only since 2017.

In January 2015 the property passed to the Rossi Cairo family, who for more than twenty years have run La Raia, in Novi Ligure, organically and biodynamically. They brought that way of working with them: in November 2018 Tenuta Cucco completed a three-year conversion and was certified organic. The oenologist is Clara Milani, who also looks after La Raia.

There are two crus, Cerrati and Bricco Voghera, both on the eastern slope of Serralunga's long crest, between 250 and 400 metres, on limestone-rich soils veined with sand. Picking is done by hand into crates, parcel by parcel, and production is around 70,000 bottles a year.
