Her grandfather and father tended the vines and sold the harvest as bulk grapes, only vinifying a small portion for personal consumption. It wasn’t until the 2000 vintage that the full potential of the domain’s 70-year-old Aglianico vines was properly explored. The family was going through the process of selling the estate when Elena made the last-minute decision to take on the property herself, with the intention of developing the vineyard and devoting herself to the land that she grew up loving so dearly. 2000 was the first proper vintage at Elena Fucci, harvested and vinified while Elena was still completing her studies in Viticulture and Enology. She knew from the beginning that they wanted to devote themselves to producing a singular wine, reflective of their unique terroir. Simply walking through the vineyard rows at Elena Fucci is a fascinating history lesson; the terrain is volcanic, the soil is mineral, dark in color, and pozzolanic, which clearly catalogues in its layers the history and life of the Vulture volcano, visible just a few hundred meters away. The eruptive phases composed of lava flows, lapilli and ash, interspersed with periods of stasis, composed of layers of clay, are all visible in the land, which translates to a fascinating wine in the glass.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2024-04-04T15:43:51-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-29T16:46:18-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","NK290324","Other_Wine","Producer_Elena Fucci","Region_Basilicata","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Aglianico"],"price":9600,"price_min":9600,"price_max":9600,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44562172706954,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2018 | Elena Fucci | Titolo Aglianico del Vulture","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":9600,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/3_5f239339-bb8e-4147-bd71-6d929bfa7de0.jpg?v=1711745240"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/3_5f239339-bb8e-4147-bd71-6d929bfa7de0.jpg?v=1711745240","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2018 | Elena Fucci | Titolo Aglianico del Vulture at CaskCartel.com","id":26589891330186,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.271,"height":1200,"width":325,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/3_5f239339-bb8e-4147-bd71-6d929bfa7de0.jpg?v=1711745240"},"aspect_ratio":0.271,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/3_5f239339-bb8e-4147-bd71-6d929bfa7de0.jpg?v=1711745240","width":325}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2018 | Elena Fucci | Titolo Aglianico del Vulture\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark and intense ruby red with an ample and complex nose yielding ethereal spices, cherry, blackberry preserves, rosemary, tobacco and cinnamon with light hints of vanilla.
