This deep garnet wine offers a complex bouquet of licorice, spices, and subtle wood aromas, reflecting its meticulous production process, including extended skin fermentation and maturation in large, aged French oak casks. The clay-calcareous terroir of Rocche dell‚ÄôAnnunziata, combined with the vineyard's south-southwest exposure, creates an elegant wine with velvety tannins, bright acidity, and the hallmark notes of tar and roses. With its 14.5% ABV and remarkable aging potential, this Barolo delivers both power and finesse, making it a compelling choice for collectors and connoisseurs alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess \u0026amp; Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 vintage is made following the meticulous, traditional methods that are the hallmark of the Aurelio Settimo estate.
