Elena Fucci Titolo Aglianico Del Vulture 2014
Basilicata, ItalyElena 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 organic vineyards are rooted at 600m, on the steep slopes of the dormant volcanic cliffs. Titolo is the focus cru and wine of the winery. The 2014 is showing moderate evolution, with worked leather, dried cassis, ripe black cherry, dried dark florals, and ample mineral salts woven throughout the muscular frame. Tannins are now yielding with time, housing the still tense, volcanic energy that buzzes through the dusky palate. The 2014 is drinking now, ideally with roast lamb or steak.Tasted: 26 March 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $75.00 | 750ml | private wine store |
