Titolo
Elena Fucci grew up in the middle of the vineyards that her grandfather Generoso began farming in the 1960’s, selling the fruit to the local cooperative. Rather than sell off the family properties in 2000, Elena Fucci took on the challenge of stewarding the oldest vineyards on Monte Vulture, forever changing the future of the Aglianico del Vulture DOC. The vineyards are rooted at 600m, on the steep slopes of the dormant volcanic cliffs. The Aglianico is destemmed and crushed in small batches and fermented in stainless, finishing MLF in new French oak barriques, where it remains for 12 months. The wine is fined in the bottle for an additional 6 months before being released to the market. Titolo is the focus cru and wine of the winery.
“The 2019 Aglianico del Vulture Titolo is stunning. It opens with a bit of an exotic flair, mixing smoky plum and lavender with animal musk, crushed ashen stone and a whiff of sour citrus that lights up the senses. Then it enters the palate silky and pliant, quickly gaining in youthful tannic tension, but not before providing a preview of mentholated herbal tones and depths of mineral-laden dark fruits that will take centre stage after a few years of cellaring. This finishes incredibly long yet structured, leaving a staining of primary concentration to linger under an air of pretty inner florals and savoury spice. I believe the 2019 may one day rank among the best vintages ever produced of Elena Fucci’s Titolo. Drink 2024-2036.” - 94+ points, Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2021.
