Here they practiced mixed farming: tending vineyards and fruit and hazelnut trees, as well as breeding hens, rabbits and cows. The grapes were sold to big local wineries and the family only kept enough to make a small amount of wine for themselves, until the late 1950s when Aurelio’s father began bottling some under the name Settimo Domenico. When Domenico passed away in 1962, Aurelio abandoned mixed farming and animal breeding to follow his heart, creating the Aurelio Settimo label. Aurelio died in 2007 and his daughter Tiziana took the reins but has kept his philosophy alive: to focus on quality in keeping with tradition. The estate has shown consistent growth in terms of quality while maintaining absolute respect for the noble local winemaking tradition and the land, and has banned the use of chemicals in the vineyard PLCB Dolcetto Piedmont 2016 12 750 13.99 Grape: Dolcetto Appellation: Dolcetto d’Alba DOC Vinification & Ageing: short fermentation on the skins (submerged cap for 7 days), with frequent breaking up of the cap and pumping over of the must.

PLCB Merlot Veneto 2017 12 750 11.89 Tenuta Fernanda Cappello Fernanda Cappello, an architect, who was fascinated and charmed by a land that was so individual and tough, spends all her time producing wine. Her passion, competence and professionalism is constantly growing, and these - together with the crucial contribution of highly-motivated experts and colleagues who are proud of their work - are the lifeblood of her energetic management of the estate. The Fernanda Cappello estate is to the north of the D.O.C. Friuli Grave area: where the flood plains and the moraine hills (between Lestans and Sequals) can be compared to the "graves" of Bordeaux. The grapes are harvested mechanically in the early morning. They are then quickly cooled to a low temperature and allowed to macerate at a controlled temperature to capture the aromatic components of the skins. A light pressing follows and the must obtained is cleared by static decantation. Fermentation is temperature controlled in stainless steel. At the end of the fermentation the wine is allowed to rest on the lees for at least six months.
