'Cucuniano' Peter Sichel 2022

Peter Sichel's 'Cucuniano' is a balanced, distinctive mountain red wine that bears the historic name of the village of Cucugnan, where it is produced. The vineyards are surrounded by trees and the winery operates according to agroforestry principles, combining permaculture and biodynamics. It is a fresh and fragrant wine, with a profile shaped by vinification using whole bunches and ageing in cement and large barrels. The nose reveals fresh red fruits and wild strawberries. On the palate, it is round and elegant, with fine tannins and a freshness that accompanies a harmonious progression. It pairs well with braised meats and regional cuisine, such as boeuf bourguignon

Scent

Soft hints of strawberry, raspberry and blueberry, hints of pepper and cocoa

Taste

Temperature

When to open
To enjoy an artisanal wine at its best, we recommend you to let it 'breathe' at least 15-30 minutes before serving
When to drink
Wine good to drink now, but that can have a beautiful evolution after resting for a while in your cellar
Glass
Medium open goblet
Perfect for young and medium bodied red wines which don't require excessive oxygenation to open. The opening, slightly tighter than the body of the glass, favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting the dispersion
