Tucc–un (Tutt’Uno) – Red wine

Tucc-un

Canavese DOC Rosso

Red wine

Tucc-un, “all for one”. The name of this red wine is the motto of the Ivrea Alpine Brigade and it perfectly suits our blend too: a meeting of traditional Canavese vines. Historically, it is very to find a single grape variety planted in old red grape vineyards. Each vineyard had an alternation of different grape varieties, selected by the experience of the local winemakers for their ability to grow well in that particular place. This is how this medium-aged red wine was born, reviving the Canavese tradition for creating blended wines. Tucc-un was also the motto of the Tuchinaggio, a revolutionary Canavese movement of rebellion against the feudal lords between the 14th and 15th centuries. An expression that has a strong bond with the territory as well as its native grapes
