The grapes were sold to big local wineries, and just a small amount remained for the family to produce wine for themselves and friends and relatives. At the end of the 1950s, Aurelio’s father began bottling some of the wine under the SETTIMO DOMENICO label. Aurelio had understood how special this land really was however, and when Domenico died in 1962 he decided to specialize in wine-growing.

    Yes, cement is kind of "traditional" in that before there was cement, ... in concrete whereas  Aurelio Settimo ferments in concrete and ages in big casks, Radikon uses some, Giovanni Rosso does Barolo in concrete, several Verdicchios and other whites are done that way, and there are many more.Here's a cool idea that takes advantage of the cooli...
