Elena Fucci

Elena Fucci started her wine tenuta in 2000, saving the 6-hectares of vineyards her grandfather purchased 40 years prior in Barile on the slope of Mount Vulture - a dormant volcano. Previously, her family sold the grapes or made wine for themselves.

 

Her vineyards are the oldest on the volcano and from the start she has produced a single wine from the vineyard of Contrada Solagna del Titolo, simply called Titolo. She does offer an occasional variation on Titolo - like her Amphora version and the 20th Anniversary edition - and in strong vintages, she reserves her best grapes for Titolo Superiore and Riserva bottlings.

 

Elena is passionate about her work and her wines. She built a new winery, connected to the original cellar by a tunnel through the volcanic rock. She is rightly proud that the facility has a zero energy footprint. In such a short time, she has risen quickly to the pantheon of Aglianico producers in Italy. VDLT is proud to offer, what is likely the most comprehensive compilation of her wines in America.
