Everything began in 2000, when Elena Fucci decided not to sell and give another chance to the beautiful vineyards surrounding the family's house.
Vineyards had been acquired in the 1960's by her grandfather Generoso, buying the highest part of the estates located in Contrada Solagna del Titolo at the foot of Mount Vulture. During the years Elena Fucci's great-grandfather and grandfather had taken care of the vineyards, limiting themselves to selling the grapes and producing for their own consumption. Elena Fucci makes a sudden change of course, changing her life's plans and those of her family: she decides to invest on the territory and on the resource which allowed her father and even before her grandparents and great-grandparents to live and grow up in Vulture.
So the winery comes to life with the 2000 harvest, in parallel with his university studies at the faculty of viticulture and enology. The choice of the winery is to focus on a single product, the "TITLE", a single wine for objective reasons. a single wine for objective reasons related to the yields of vineyards and the quality given by the maturity of plants; a single wine to represent at its best the specificity of Aglianico and the territoriality of Vulture, which offers to this grape a unique expression; a mix of microclimate and terroir that in Contrada Solagna del Titolo gives one of the best expressions possible.
