ELENA FUCCI
2025 Verha Rosso
IGT Basilicata Rosso
Aglianico del Vulture
Red wine
The Verha project starts in 2022 with the aim to provide younger ready-to-drink wines able to represent the essence of the Vulture terroir. It has a social value since the grapes for making the wines come from the winegrowers in Barile, the same community as Elena Fucci belongs. Before the pandemic period, the local winegrowers used to trade their own grapes with the large wineries of the area making “garagiste-style” wines. Failed this trade, Elena and the winegrowers agreed to use the grapes to make Verha wines, to support the community and avoid the desertion. Verha means wine in the Arbëreshë language spoken by the Albanese minority residing in the Barile village since the fifteenth Century. Colour: ruby red with purple shades Mose: young red fruit with slightly coffee notes Palate: balanced and fresh with right tannins and savoury aftertaste. Volcanic mixed with clay, height: 650 asl, exposition to south/south-east, continental weather (snowy winter, warm summer, overnight temperature range)
