Tasting Notes

In 2016, Elena Fucci, responsible for saving her family’s high altitude, volcanic soiled vineyards and solidifying the appellation with her singular Titolo cru, began another passion project, called SCEG, to help out friends of her 94 year old grandfather Generoso. In order to preserve their vines and tradition, she makes this special wine from his friends’ vines, in four parcels near her family’s vineyards, and vines aging 70+ years. SGEC (pronounced Sheg) is organically farmed Aglianico, spending one year in 500L tonneaux and 6 months in bottle prior to release. Fresh and bright, this youthful medium+ wine is ready to drink now, with ample ripe cherry, dried thyme, and minerality throughout.
