Elena Fucci

Dunkles Rubinrot, im Bouquet Aromen von reifen, roten Früchten und eine feine Holzwürze. Elegant, weich, komplex und frisch der überschwängliche und dabei sehr einschmeichelnde Geschmack. Ein Meisterwerk aus der Basilikata! SUPERIORE.DE

"Here's another great vintage from Elena Fucci, the ascending star of a rising wine region in the deep south of Italy. The 2015 Aglianico del Vulture Titolo shows a dark garnet color and robust appearance. Very characteristic of this extreme territory, this is a dark and penetrating wine with etched mineral notes behind blackberry, plum and savory spice. This vintage presents an even darker quality of fruit. In the mouth, you get iron, blood and dark mineral nuances that are absolutely typical of these darkened volcanic soils." Robert Parker

"On the ‘Titolo’ lava channel, at 650m of altitude, grows this extraordinary Aglianico. It expresses its volcanic lava and ash origins - known locally as ‘pozzolana’ - and soil combined with altitude here contribute to bring this masculine grape to perfect ripeness. Dark in colour and meaty on the nose, it shows anchovy, iodine and tell-tale incense minerality. It has a firm, well extracted mid-palate and is slightly chalky on the finish, yet in a relaxing drinking style." Decanter

"Elena Fucci's 2016 Aglianico del Vulture Titolo is a wine built for the long haul. It should continue its steady evolution over the next 20 years if not more. Stitched together with enormous precision, the wine offers balanced intensity and a beautiful level of fruit purity that speaks both to the Aglianico grape and the extreme territory that shapes it. This vintage finishes on a dry note with fine texture and elegantly integrated tannins. The wine is aged in barrique for 12 months, of which half is new oak with various levels of toast. The vines range from 50 to 70 years old and are planted up to 650 meters above sea level. Some 28,000 bottles were produced." Robert Parker

"Bright purple-ruby. Aromas and flavors of dark plum, black cherry and sweet spices are complemented by a strong balsamic note. Bright and juicy, with a lovely mineral tang and harmonious acidity lifting the steely red fruit flavors and extending them through a long floral finish. Outstanding wine." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

"The 2013 Aglianico del Vulture Titolo offers a rich and savory interpretation. The wine reveals earthy notes of freshly tilled earth and button mushroom and it also shows autumnal layers of crushed leaf and black currant. Together, these various elements come together in smooth harmony. The fruit element at the back is a good guarantee of the wine's future aging potential. The finish offers solid tannins and earthy grittiness." Robert Parker

"Bright ruby. Piercing aromas of sour red cherry, black currant, violet and lavender. Then dense, sweet and complex, offering very pure mineral, deep plum and smoky berry flavors that have an almost metallic, steely quality. A wine of remarkable balance and finesse, but also powerful and concentrated. Absolutely gorgeous wine confirming the 2013 vintage to be a great one for Aglianico del Vulture."

Hier kommt der erste Jahrgang der neuen Titolo Riserva, die ausschließlich in 400 nummerierte Magnum-Flaschen abgefüllt wird und somit kaum im Handel auftauchen wird. Ein hochkomplexer Roter mit dem Duft nach getrockneten Blüten, Brombeere und zerstoßenem Gestein. Die Tannine sind hervorragend integriert und dieser Wein ist schon heute nicht nur eine begehrte Rarität, sondern ein neuer Stern am Firmament der süditalienischen Weine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Here's a new discovery that I'd like to broadcast far and near. This Riserva is a new wine from Elena Fucci that was initiated with this vintage. It is a limited-edition wine made only in magnums. In fact, I tasted bottle number 1 of 400 made to write this review. The 2013 Aglianico del Vulture Superiore Riserva Titolo is a dark and savory expression with an evolved and profound bouquet that covers all the bases. It offers dried fruit and blackberry with smoke, ash and crushed river stone. That mineral identity is the wine's most important defining characteristic. Aglianico tends to deliver astringent tannins, but this Riserva shows excellent integration and structural management. A new benchmark wine for southern Italy has just been created." Robert Parker
