Vehra Rosso IGT Aglianico del Vulture DOC

Verha Rosso 2023 is a red from Elena Fucci, made from Aglianico in Basilicata, southern Italy. The vineyards lie on the slopes of Mount Vulture, an extinct volcano with soils of old lava, clay and ash. It pours ruby with purple glints. The style is floral and fruit-forward, with violets, blackberries and wild berries lifted by brisk acidity and a mineral edge. At 13.5% alcohol, it suits grilled meat, ragù or aged cheese at 16 to 18°C. Delivered across Ontario.
