The Titolo Superiore is Elena Fucci's uncompromising expression of a vintage that shines with character, depth and finesse. With its intense ruby red color and a limited production of only 400 bottles, this wine represents the best that the famous Titolo vineyard has to offer. The aroma is multi-layered and complex: aromatic herbs, dark cherries, sour cherries and fine spicy notes blend with hints of incense, ash and balsamic nuances. The structure is concentrated, but at the same time has an elegant, almost silky texture - an Aglianico with depth and aristocratic restraint.
On the palate, the Titolo Superiore is as cool as it is expressive, with intense fruit, fine-grained tannins and a refined salty minerality that is typical of the volcanic soils of the Vulture. The freshness remains despite all the maturity - supported by a sour citrus note that lends the finish a vibrant tension. Tobacco and blackcurrant linger for a long time and make this wine a profound experience with great potential for development. Ageing in new and used tonneaux and long bottle ageing give it structure, complexity and balance - an Aglianico that rewards patience and has the potential to mature into a classic. - Gerardo [TS10/20]
"The 2018 Aglianico del Vulture Titolo Superiore pulls me deep into the glass to take in its beguiling bouquet, as balsamic spice, incense and crushed ashen rocks evolve into a mix of blackberries, sage and hints of animal musk. Cool-toned and finessed, this impresses with its savory, nearly salty character and perfumed black fruit profile, as brisk acids maintain a lovely freshness. A twang of sour citrus adds a bump of nervous energy toward the close, as the 2018 finishes with a web of silty tannins and hints of black currant that linger on. The Superiore is a selection that's refined for 12 months in tonneaux, followed by 12 months in used barrels and, finally 12 months in the bottle. It's aromatically stunning, with added textural depth and an enhanced structure that outhweighs the 2018 Titolo. Following this bottle for three days, I'm highly interested to see how it will mature of the coming years." - Antonio Galloni (Vinous)
