Marche Bianco Cuchen

Marche Bianco Cuchen

A pure expression of the Adriatic coast, Cuchen is a vibrant white from the hills of Le Marche just inland from Pesaro. Crafted from organically farmed vineyards and native grape varieties, it captures the freshness of sea breezes and limestone soils in every glass.

‘Cuchen’ means ‘mama’s boy’ or ‘munchkin’ in the local dialect, a childhood nickname for Alberto’s brother, Alessandro, who now assists in running the property (and the kitchen.)

It is 100% Albanella, Albanella is reminiscent of Le Marche’s most well-known variety, Verdicchio, but, here, as if amped up a notch – with richer fruit, steelier stone and more salty, seaside air.

Appellation: Marche Bianco IGT

Type: White, dry

Varietal: 100% Albanello

Wine Details:

Tasting Notes:
Color: pale straw yellow in the glass, showing light green reflections
Bouquet: Bright orchard and stone fruit on the nose  – pear, yellow apple, ripe white peach – with distinctively greener elements close behind – cut grass warmed in the sun, peppercorn, gooseberry, lemongrass, camomile leaves and flowers.
Palate: Zippy but never sharp acidity and sunny fruit on the palate – like golden raspberries – lead to a long, supple, and savory finish. A lingering tang, like a refreshing seabreeze, recalls the wine’s coastal origins and keeps you at the table
Alcohol: 12.5%
Pairing: Best with fresh seafood such as oysters, clams, grilled shrimp, and simple white fish dishes where its saline freshness and bright acidity can shine. It also pairs beautifully with light Mediterranean fare like lemony pasta, vegetable antipasti, and fresh cheeses that echo its clean, coastal character.
