Aurelio Settimo Barolo 2013
La Morra, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyAzienda Aurelio Settimo have just under 7ha of vineyards in the hamlet of Frazione Annunziata in the commune of La Morra. When Aurelio's father Domenico died in 1962, he decided to focus the polyculture farm into vineyards, eventually beginning his namesake label. When Aurelio passed in 2007, his daughter Tiziana took over the vineyards and winemaking, as she had grown up alongside her father in the winery. A very traditional Barolo, this aged 1 year in concrete tanks before resting 2 years in large older French oak casks. A bricking orange hue, with dried cherry, aged wood, and a thread of funky brett that persists, stubbornly, through the finish. Acidity is bright, and tannins are appropriately tuggy and absorbed into the fading fruit. This finishes with a warming flush, and best enjoyed now (at least my bretty bottle) with hearty mushroom risotto or pork tenderloin.Tasted: 02 November 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $60.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
