Is Rocche the La Tâche of La Morra!? This flagship wine for the cantina is some of the classiest juice out there, and Tiziana deserves every cent of the $80 she’s getting for this wine, especially when you consider what her neighbors get for lesser exposures in this top vineyard. This is a stunner—a wine for the ages! And everyone needs a magnum or two!

It’s always lovely to sit down with Tiziana and her son Davide to catch up on what’s new in the Aurelio Settimo cellar. Even though the cantina has undergone a recent renovation, you still won’t find any new wood or small barrels among the concrete fermenters and large Slovonian oak botti. A self-professed staunch traditionalist, Tiziana farms her family’s privileged parcel of Rocche dell’Annunziata with old-school precision, so the wines she makes will drink well all through their lives.
