The Fucci’s six hectares of sixty year old vines are located on the Titolo lava channel
sometimes across a little more in vintages that are difficult for reds (which 2023 wasn’t)
Though it can be kept for several years
with a sweet warming heat that captures the essence of the Mediterranean
To attempt to restrain what nature delivers effortlessly is ultimately a futile exercise
