Cascina Cucco 2007 Cerrati Vigna Cucco Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $57
Inky-dark saturation and immediate aromas of dark fruit, cassis, chocolate, carob seed, tar, tobacco and licorice offer an excellent first impression. Dark spice and finely ground black pepper accent the wine’s long, elegant mouthfeel. Drink after 2015.

Cascina Cucco 1998 Vigna Cucco Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $64
Mint, spice, red chilies and even some charcoal are apparent on the bouquet. Flavors of dried cherries and apple skin follow on the leathery palate. The ending impression is a bit light, but that’s o.k. Not every Barolo need be a tannic bomb, and this one is quite pleasant in its youth. That said, another three or four years of aging is probably in order.

Cascina Cucco 1998 Cerrati Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $64
Notes of truffle and flowers dominate the nose. There are some black cherry flavors but more prominent is a dried-meat quality. Tannins were a little aggressive on the finish, but should settle with time.
