2021 Aurelio Settimo Dolcetto d’Alba
We fell for the wines of Tiziana Settimo while tasting along with her in her cozy barrel room just outside of La Morra in the famed Langhe wine region of Italy. Dolcetto, for me, is the most complete wine for a weeknight meal from all of Italy. It sings with Pizza and holds its own with burgers, BBQ chicken, and even a simple salad. The wine is redolent with fleshy grapes, white pepper, violets, and plenty of easy, juicy happiness. Tiziana is a happy person, which comes out in all her wines. We are so pleased to launch the Settimo brand here at CB.
