Aromas of dark-skinned berry, culinary spice, lavender, crushed mint and truffle waft out of the glass on the succulent, savory 2022 Vigna Cuculo. Made with organically farmed Barbera, it s full-bodied, smooth and utterly delicious. Combining a wild side with earthy finesse, it delivers layers of Morello cherry, raspberry jam, nutmeg and peppercorn flavors before closing on a hint of game. Velvety tannins and fresh acidity keep it balanced. What a fantastic wine. Drink through 2030. [Kerin O’Keefe, 24/08/2024]
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2030

Excellent structure with typical atoms and flavors of Barbera grown in the Barolo zone: red fruits, red flowers, open and intense. excellent aging potential. This wine finds its best matches at the table, with first courses of prosciutto, salami, lardo, beef carpaccio “Albese” style and vitello tonnato. Also excellent with pasta and pizza, or with second courses of red meat in general, but also grilled fish or robust white meats, or with aged cheeses."
