Elena Fucci Vini

With Elena Fucci, geographically we take our minds to the inside of a territory that expands to the north of the Basilicata region. Precisely in the north-eastern part of the province of Potenza. Here lies the '' Vulture-Melfese '' area dominated by the imposing massif of Monte Vulture (1326 meters). Volcano not active for millennia, spread over 45,000 hectares which includes the area of ​​the two volcanic lakes of Monticchio. Belonging to the geographical area are the municipalities of: Barile, Rionero, Venosa, Melfi, Atella, Montemilone, Ripacandida, Maschito, Ginestra, Ruvo del Monte, Rapolla, Rapone and San Fele, also holders of the Aglianico del Vulture DOC wine production since February 18, 1971.

And it was in Barile in 2000 that a new business idea was born in Rosa, aimed at safeguarding an important wine-growing area of ​​60,000 square meters. Fucci property and almost abandoned. Again brought back to production thanks to the will of a very young winemaker, Elena Fucci. Not a story, but the authentic story of true attachment to one's homeland. In an original way it leads them to discover the natural richness, enhancing the landscape beauties and the enological potential of that land. A purplish red treasure, represented by a single historical vine whose original name (Vitis Ellenica XV century) was changed to the current Aglianico. The history of its first appearance in Lucania dates back to more remote times around the 4th century BC.

Elena Fucci's Aglianico del Vulture is grown within 600 meters of altitude, where it has found the best pedo-climatic conditions and the yield of grapes into wine not exceeding 70%.

The Fucci winery retains most of the historic premises built by the paternal grandfather, made by digging into the volcanic rock. Today used as a barrel room for the refinement of wines, and with aging it acquires the organoleptic characteristics of greatest value to the Aglianico wine, the "color", taking on orange reflections; in addition to the smell and intensity that grows in pleasantness with age.

The Fucci maison focuses on extreme quality, a wine from Aglianico: '' TITOLO '' as a great historical and future representation of the production area and to be such as unique and unrepeatable. Able to give a dry, mineral, warm, harmonious, rightly tannic flavor and with aging it becomes more and more velvety.

Elena Fucci's Aglianico del Vulture TITOLO wine is a guarantee for those who love this wine as they are given the best possible attention.
