Elena Fucci Titolo Aglianico del Vulture 2021

Product Info

A highly respected winemaker across the globe, Elena Fucci and her wines embody a profound connection between family heritage, environmental stewardship, and innovative winemaking.

Three generations of the Fucci family have lived on their land in Basilicata. Elena’s grandfather proudly purchased the land, where he was born and raised, in 1960 after returning home from working away for many years to support his family. Nestled at the foot of the extinct Mount Vulture volcano, their vineyard spans six hectares at the highest point of Contrada Solagna of Titolo. For decades, the family sold their Aglianico grapes in bulk, vinifying only a small portion for personal use.

In 2000, just as the farm was on the brink of being sold, Elena made the pivotal decision to preserve her family's land and unlock the full potential of its 70-year-old vines — the oldest on Mount Vulture. Titolo Aglianico del Vulture 2000 marked the rst true vintage under her direction, all while she pursued a degree in enology and viticulture.

Titolo Aglianico del Vulture 2022 reflects Elena’s long-standing, impressive vision to craft a wine of utmost quality from a single vineyard that is expressive of her volcanic, high altitude terroir. Committed to organic farming, the farm integrates sustainable practices, such as rainwater harvesting, solar energy, and bio-architecture, ensuring harmony with the natural environment.

Beyond viticulture, Elena serves as a passionate ambassador for her region, inspiring a new generation of winemakers, while honoring the deep cultural and geological heritage of Vulture
