Winery Azienda Agricola Elena Fucci

The turning point was in 2000 when Elena chose not to sell the family property; she studied oenology and agronomy in Pisa and returned in 2005. Production started with only a few thousand bottles and has grown since. ([decanter.com](https://www.decanter.com/wine/an-interview-with-elena-fucci-495001/))

Strong focus on respecting the volcanic terroir and certified organic viticulture; hand-harvest, controlled cellar interventions (relatively short macerations), experimental use of neutral amphorae and French barrels; winery built with recycled materials and sustainable energy solutions.
