Description

Titolo Superiore is a red wine made from 100% Aglianico del Vulture grapes, a high quality, long aged version of the famous Titolo line created by the Elena Fucci winery. Aglianico del Vulture is an ancient grape variety that originated in Greece but has been widely planted in southern Italy for hundreds of years. This has given rise to at least two different biotypes of the same variety: Aglianico and Aglianico del Vulture, which is widespread in Basilicata.
Titolo Superiore is a wine created to represent the great charm of the Vulture area, destined to amaze with its tannic balance and depth of fruit, perfect for celebrating great occasions or accompanying important dishes.
This red wine is made exclusively with grapes from the oldest parcel of the estate vineyard, with vines that can reach 70 years of age, located on the slopes of the old volcano Monte Vulture, with vines that are rooted in dark volcanic soils composed of layers of lapilli, ash and clay. Cultivation takes place in full respect of the environment, in accordance with the company's philosophy, in the total absence of synthetic chemical products.
Harvesting, done manually in small baskets, aims to pick the grapes when they are perfectly ripe phenolically and involves a rigorous selection of the berries on a sorting table to ensure only the best grapes.
These are then destemmed and placed whole in steel vats where they ferment with selected yeasts and macerate in contact with the skins.
After drawing off, the finished wine is transferred to French oak barrels, half of which are new, where it remains for 24 months, including a period of malolactic fermentation by lactic bacteria. The wine is then aged in bottles for a further 12 months to perfect the product before it is released. In the glass, the wine has an intense ruby red colour. To the nose, it reveals elegant notes of ripe cherries and sour cherries with personality, interwoven with hints of Mediterranean herbs, spices and tobacco. The palate reveals a silky and well-integrated tannic texture with a rich structure, supported by a vibrant vein of acidity that provides freshness, persistence and longevity.
