Aurelio Settimo Barolo Rocche Dell'Annunziata 2018

This single-vineyard Cru Barolo displays a beautiful garnet red color. The bouquet is intensely aromatic and exceptionally elegant, offering classic scents of fresh red raspberries, wild cherries, and dried rose petals, seamlessly combined with complex undertones of licorice, tobacco, leather, and mint. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied, multi-layered structure where a precise, vibrant acidity perfectly balances a highly concentrated core of fruit. The texture is silky yet muscular, supported by firm, fine-grained tannins that lead into an incredibly long, savory, and aristocratic finish.

Food Pairing: Complements roasted lamb, braised veal, rich truffle dishes, and aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano.

92 Points - James Suckling

"Strawberry and cherry with some granite, stone and walnut character. It’s full-to medium-bodied with chewy tannins and a juicy finish. Needs a year or two to soften, but pretty already."
