Aurelio Settimo Barolo Rocche Dell'Annunziata 2017
La Morra, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyThis cuvée comes from a cru in the shelter of a hollow of calcareous clays at 270m, between the hills of San Martino and Cerequio-Brunate, looking S/SW out over the Torriglione hamlet. This was fermented on skins in concrete over 3 weeks before moving to larger untested French and Austrian oak casks for 18 months. Structured wild cherry, perfumed raspberry, scrubby herbs muscle their way through this structured, riper Barolo, with grippy tannins pinning in the sides, and bright acidity carrying this through the sueded finish.Tasted: 03 November 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $72.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
