Elena Fucci Titolo Aglianico del Vulture DOC

Dark and intense ruby red with an ample and complex nose yielding ethereal spices, cherry, blackberry preserves, rosemary, tobacco and cinnamon with light hints of vanilla. Dry on the palate and full bodied with firm tannins and alongfinish. Although a young wine when released, it is destined for a great future! "Elena Fucci put Basilicata — that stretch at the bottom of Italy between coastal Apulia and Calabria — on the map when she fouded her winery in 2000. Her wines are made on a volcano: in the DOC of Aglianico del Vulture, with vineyards situated on a lava flow at 650 meters at the heart of the region's production. She makes one wine each year — her Titolo — and it's a deep, dark, brooding wine that reflects the ash and lava it's grown on. Each bottle is destined for a great future, as she says, and so too, we think, is she." - Food & Wine
