Description
Elena Fucci, Aglianico del Vulture ‘Titolo’ DOCG
This 100% Aglianico straddles the rusticity of Southern Itay and the polish and seductiveness of Barolo. In the glass, the 2019 Titolo is a deep, nearly opaque ruby moving to garnet at the rim, with explosive aromas of crushed blackberries, black cherries, violets, grilled herbs, espresso, tobacco, grilled meat, and pulverized black stones. On the palate, it has a brooding, forceful quality and seamless texture from beginning to end. Like a top-flight Cru Barolo, this bottling will have the ability to age for multiple decades. For less patient, aerate for 45 to 60 minutes and serve right at 60-62 degrees to de-emphasize the tannins and to bring out the beautiful black and blue fruit.
