Aglianico del Vulture DOC Elena Fucci Titolo 1985

The Elena Fucci domaine located in Contrada Solagna del Titolo, at the foot of Monte Vulture (an extinct volcano) was established in 2000, when the Fucci family decided to stop selling its grapes and to produce its own wine. The vineyard spans seven hectares at an altitude of 650 metres above sea level on volcanic rock and ash soil which gives the wine its unique characteristics – a strong personality and a particularly intense minerality. The wines are tended using natural methods, without any chemical inputs.

Vigna d'Alceo is a cuvée that perfectly expresses the typical character of its terroir. It is matured for between 12 and 15 months in oak barrels. On the nose, it exudes aromas of red and black berries and smoky, tobacco notes. The palate is extremely juicy.
