Decanter
A refined, elegant expression of Aglianico. Lifted floral aromas of rose and violet are accompanied by fresh cherry scents. The palate is vibrant and energetic; youthful bramble fruit dominates. Still very young, with plenty of grip and notable minerality, this has many years ahead of it. Aged for 12 months in first- and second-use barriques with various levels of toasting.

Vinous
The 2022 Aglianico del Vulture Titolo tempts the imagination as a whiff of ash and white smoke blows off to reveal musky black currants, shaved cedar and tangerine zest. This is texturally thrilling, nearly creamy in feel yet energetic. Cooling acidity and a core of ripe black fruits give way to tactile mineral tones. This finishes dramatically long and fresh, with a staining of fine-grained tannins. Licorice and exotic spice percolate through the close. Frankly, I'm amazed that even with the creation of the Superiore, Amphora and Riserva, Elena Fucci's Titolo remains one of the top wines in the region year after year. This is fantastic juice. (EG)

James Suckling
Ripe and a bit volatile on the nose, with dried fruit and a savory, earthy touch. Juicy and firm, with bright acidity and a traditional, slightly old-school sensibility marked by an aged, bark-like note with nicely chewy tannins. Still, this has vibrancy from the acid. A bit more fruit freshness would take it to the next level. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
Notes
Elena Fucci "Titolo" Aglianico del Vulture is a prestigious wine from the volcanic slopes of Mount Vulture in Basilicata, made exclusively from Aglianico grapes. Known for its power and elegance, Titolo offers aromas of dark fruit, black cherry, and spices, with earthy notes and hints of tobacco. On the palate, it's full-bodied with robust tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, complex finish. This wine has excellent aging potential and pairs well with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses, embodying the intensity of the Vulture terroir.
