Tenuta Cucco began as a winery in the 1960s. In the local dialect “cucco” indicates the hilltop location of the oldest part of the vineyard, inside the Cru Cerrati.

Variety and richness are nature’s best ally

The winery offers a breathtaking view of the peaks of mount Monviso, the hills with vineyards and the Castle of Serralunga d’Alba with its remarkable narrow structure, in an iconic Italian landscape

The grapes of Cru Cerrati and Vigna Cucco have a long history of excellence: for centuries local winemakers have prized them for their unique qualities and characteristics, using them only to produce their finest Barolo wines.

In 1966 the Cappellano family sold Tenuta Cucco to the Stroppiana family, which in turn constructed the first winery. Towards the end of 2015 the estate passed to the Rossi Cairo family, which for 18 years has run the organic and biodynamic farm La Raia in Novi Ligure. Here they produce Gavi DOCG and Piemonte Barbera DOC certified by Demeter promoting an agriculture that is not only sustainable but that also preserves the vitality of the soil for future generations to enjoy.
