2021 Elena Fucci Verha Basilicata IGT (Aglianico)

Elena Fucci stepped in to take over the family's vineyards in 2000. It was a last minute decision, but clearly the right one as Fucci's wines rank as some of the most sought after Aglianco del Vulture. Red wines from this region are intense and need significant bottle age before they begin to show their full potential. "Verha" is Fucci's low abv, light, low tannin (yes, a low tannin aglianico!), chillable response to Aglianico's otherwise beefy nature. From her younger vines, spontaneously fermented in stainless steel, this wine is a fresh new take and we absolutely adore it.

"Verha" means Vino in local dialect.
