Product Notes

Aurelio Settimo Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata DOCG is a sumptuous Italian wine. Renowned for its lavish, full-bodied profile, this wine showcases luscious layers of black cherry, plum, and dried rose petal. Undertones of leather, tobacco, and spice enrich the bouquet, offering decadent complexity. The wine's considerable tannins are beautifully balanced by the rich, concentrated fruit flavours, leading to an impressively long, elegant finish. Aged in oak casks and stainless steel tanks, the Barolo expresses its profound structure and age-worthy character. From the esteemed Barolo region, it's a testament to the winemaking excellence of Aurelio Settimo.

Tasting Notes

This wine is garnet red with ruby highlights; the notes of wood and hint of licorice prevailing on the nose are typical of the wines aged in the traditional local style. On the mouth it is appealingly dry, with well-balanced tannins.

About the Winery

Aurelio Settimo

Aurelio Settimo is nestled in the rolling hills of Piedmont, Italy acclaimed for its stunning vineyards and exceptional wines. This family-owned winery offers an intimate peek into the production of world-class Barolo wines.

Founded in the early 1940s by hIs father, Domenico, Aurelio Settimo took over the twenty-three acres vineyard in 1962 naming it after himself. The winery cultivates a pure varietal, Nebbiolo, an element essential in structuring Barolo wines. A striking feature of the Nebbiolo grape, is its sheer adaptability to the Langa terrain’s alternation between calcareous marls and blue marls, resulting in wines of exceptional quality.

Their vineyard management goes hand in hand with respect, for this irreplaceable terroir. Year in and year out, they encourage low yields to emphasise quality over quantity. Their cultivation practices respect the environment, and the work done in the vineyards is entirely manual with great attention to detail.

Despite facing a number of challenges, from the loss of her brother to changing climates, Tiziana Settimo, Aurelio's daughter, is singlehandedly upholding the family legacy. Her unwavering dedication and commitment to the craft shine through in each bottle produced.

A testament to their success, Aurelio Settimo wines are marked out by their rich structure, beauty and elegant aromas. Perhaps the star of the selection is the Rocche dell’Annunziata, noted for its complexity and tannic robustness. It pairs flawlessly with robust meat dishes and full-bodied cheeses.

Over the decades, the Aurelio Settimo winery, has forged a reputation for its commitment to tradition, excellence. It is not just a winery, but a destination for any wine lover seeking an authentic taste of Italy's Piedmont region. They have perfectly encapsulated the essence of their land in every sip, crafting an unforgettable wine experience for connoisseurs worldwide.
