Aurelio Settimo Barolo Riserva Rocche Dell'Annunziata 2012
La Morra, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyThe 2012 Reserve comes out of the oldest vineyards in Rocche dell'Annunziata, now more than 40 years old. The colour is a healthy orange/red, the nose is a mix of spice and balsamic, with licorice, sagebrush, orange rind and dark cherry. The wines come off 5.67 hectares of the famed vineyard and are crafted in the classical style. It's starting to show a touch of maturity at eight years old, but it remains mostly full-bodied, with tannins yet to dissipate. There is a sense of balance and elegance in the finish that suggests it is now food friendly, especially with beef and game dishes. Its ageing regime is unique: 36 months in concrete tanks, 36 months in big French oak casks. Just a delight to drink, and it's just beginning to unfold.Tasted: 02 November 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $105.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
