Three bottle pack “Verha”

Elena Fucci's Verha white wine is the result of a 2022 project that combines respect for tradition with the desire to innovate and support the local community. This wine is not only an authentic expression of the terroir that characterises the village of Barile, but also a concrete response to the risk of abandonment of the area's vineyards.
In fact, the grapes used for Verha come from small farmers in Contrada Catavatta, adjacent to the vineyards of the title. Before the pandemic, these grapes were bought by private individuals from the Campania region for artisanal production. With the arrival of Covid, however, this trade came to a halt, leaving the farmers without a market outlet. In order to prevent the vineyards from being abandoned, Elena Fucci decided to take over these precious grapes and launch a new line of everyday wines, fresh and pleasant, but always linked to the territory of the Vulture.
The wine is made from local indigenous grape varieties and the vineyards benefit not only from the volcanic soil, composed of lapilli, ash and clay, but also from the continental climate, with cold winters and cool, breezy summers, which allows the grapes to ripen perfectly. The vines are cultivated with the utmost respect for nature, using organic methods and state-of-the-art weather stations to minimise intervention. The strictly manual harvest takes place in mid-September, ensuring a careful selection of the best grapes.
In the cellar, the grapes are destemmed before being cryomacerated in steel tanks for about 6 hours. The grapes are then gently pressed to extract the must, which ferments with selected yeasts in temperature-controlled steel tanks. As Verha bianco is a vintage wine, it rests in steel tanks at low temperature for one month before being filtered and bottled. The Verha bianco presents itself with a pleasant yellow colour in the glass, the nose is fresh and aromatic, with hints of tropical and white-fleshed fruits, combined with notes of Mediterranean herbs such as sage. On the palate we find the prevailing freshness, with mineral puffs, a medium bodied wine and a satisfying finish. A versatile wine, perfect for everyday drinking. With the Verha line, Elena Fucci has created a wine that not only expresses the best of the terroir, but also tells a story of solidarity, tradition and love for the land.
