The greatest wines aren't always the most obvious, and Elena Fucci's 'Titolo' is proof. From an extinct volcano in Basilicata, one of southern Italy's least-expected corners, Fucci built her name on this one flagship wine, pouring everything into it. The fruit comes from old Aglianico vines, many planted in the 1950s, rooted in dark volcanic soils high on Monte Vulture near Barile. This is Aglianico as reference point: structured yet soulful, with the kind of depth that comes from a family devoted to one place. Delicious now, but it will happily reward a stash in the cellar.

"The 2022 Aglianico del Vulture Titolo tempts the imagination as a whiff of ash and white smoke blows off to reveal musky black currants, shaved cedar and tangerine zest. This is texturally thrilling, nearly creamy in feel yet energetic. Cooling acidity and a core of ripe black fruits give way to tactile mineral tones. This finishes dramatically long and fresh, with a staining of fine-grained tannins. Licorice and exotic spice percolate through the close. Frankly, I'm amazed that even with the creation of the Superiore, Amphora and Riserva, Elena Fucci's Titolo remains one of the top wines in the region year after year. This is fantastic juice." —Eric Guido

"The organic Elena Fucci 2022 Aglianico del Vulture Titolo (or the so-called "classico" version of her flagship wine) represents a powerful vintage in which fruit ripeness and concentration are on full display. These results are balanced overall yet lean into the bolder side of Vulture winemaking. The wine offers good freshness thanks to high-elevation fruit, but the 2022 vintage is more accessible even upon release. The Titolo vineyard is located at 650 meters in elevation. The wine ferments in stainless steel and ages in barrique for 12 months, followed by 12 months in glass. Production is 27,122 bottles." —Monica Larner

"A refined, elegant expression of Aglianico. Lifted floral aromas of rose and violet are accompanied by fresh cherry scents. The palate is vibrant and energetic; youthful bramble fruit dominates. Still very young, with plenty of grip and notable minerality, this has many years ahead of it. Aged for 12 months in first- and second-use barriques with various levels of toasting."

More about Elena Fucci

A third-generation grape grower, Elena Fucci broke with family tradition when she decided to vinify those grapes into her own cuvée. Elena makes just one wine, but she believes that one bottling represents everything that Aglianico can be.
