Elena Fucci is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the winery in 2025 with this rare special edition Titolo from the 2021 vintage. 2021 was the last harvest that her grandfather was able to experience before his death. The grapes come from a vineyard plot that is over 80 years old. Unlike the famous Titolo Classico, it was refined for 24 months in a conical oak barrel and then matured for a further 12 months in the bottle.

It opens with balsamic herbs, menthol and cloves, followed by plum skins, dried cherries and dusty roses. The palate is washed with a full body and velvety texture that contrasts with an abundance of tart red and black berries, minerals and exotic spices. There is so much density and complexity that will only fully unfold with time, but there is already so much to discover today. Finishes with tremendous length, powerful and structured, with tannins that play around the cheeks and blackcurrants mingling with liquorice. Only 2,000 bottles were produced. A masterpiece befitting the occasion! SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of tarry black fruits, underlined by a peppery note. Juicy and tightly wound, with a full body and a long, finely spiced finish." James Suckling

"An appealing, harmonious red that shows bright energy and focus on the palate. Firm, fine-grained tannins provide a taut, integrated frame for flavors of plum skin, macerated cherry and herbed green olive as they ride the silky texture. There’s a minerally push of stone and smoke through the finish, where those elements join zesty milled white pepper and smoked paprika notes." Wine Spectator

"The 2021 Aglianico del Vulture Titolo 25th Anniversary sees fruit sourced from the Particelle 79 and 80 at 650 meters in elevation on volcanic soils. The wine shows dark richness and concentrated style with blackberry and baked plum. You also get savory spice, leather and hints of crushed volcanic stone or ash. This full-bodied Southern Italian red closes with a tight pinch of tannins." Wine Advocate

"The 2021 Aglianico del Vulture Titolo 25th Anniversary needs a long time in the bottle or decanter before it really opens up and reveals its charms. A collage of sweet herbs, crushed stones, undergrowth, black olives and wild berries greets the senses as you swirl the glass. It is luxuriously soft, with a balanced inner sweetness and a cascade of mineral tones that fade into balsamic blackberries and tart cherries. It leaves a hint of sour citrus and rosemary to offset the tension in the cheeks and edgy tannins. It finishes incredibly long, but with an inviting structure that should make for enjoyable drinking after only a few years of cellaring." Vinous
