SCEG
Aglianico del Vulture
Basilicata, Italy
Made by Elena Fucci
Frank and enjoyably simple
A smooth Vulture ready to go by the glass
Maybe not superlong, but extremely well made

Yeap. Great winemaker behind the co-op scene.

Elena Fucci is the sorceress of Aglianico—her wines are always true to the variety and her volcanic terroir - intense, raw, wild, savory, stinky and spicy - big and polished, but never overextracted or overoaked. SCEG manages to distill the best parts of her ageworthy iconic Titolo into a fun sized week night package: more of that plummy, black fruit and softer, friendlier tannins. The sotto bosco is still there — porcini mushroom, bay leaf, thyme, wet black rocks — along with licorice, the aforementioned fruits and so much pepper (a reminder that Syrah and aglianico share the same family tree)

Dark spices, tobacco and leather, and a nice mix of blueberry and blackberry.
