    Coming Up

    Winemaking and estate management sit together in Tiziana Settimo’s role at Aurelio Settimo, a post she has held since 2007. The work asks for cellar decisions on one hand and estate oversight on the other: two forms of authority, one tied to the vintage and one to continuity. At Aurelio Settimo, that combination has made consistency itself part of the craft.

    Where They Are Now

    The pairing of winemaking and estate management gives the work its shape. In Tiziana Settimo’s case, the practical and the structural are not separate duties but part of the same discipline: making choices that hold together over time, and keeping those choices aligned with a house style. The result is a practice defined by measured accumulation rather than isolated intervention. Place is part of the method. At Aurelio Settimo, the wines are made in direct conversation with their setting, and Tiziana Settimo’s work shows how location can carry structure and identity without needing embellishment. The estate reads as fixed in its context, with each vintage returning to the same ground, the same fruit, and the same craft framework. That focus on one estate gives its clarity. Tiziana Settimo’s work is concentrated within a single domain and a single name, which makes repetition meaningful: one set of vines, one standard, one body of wines shaped over time under Aurelio Settimo.

    In Their Words The remark is practical first. Tiziana Settimo speaks in terms of balance, texture, and tannin, using the same working vocabulary that guides cellar choices and the table’s response to them. It reads as a trade answer: direct, specific, and rooted in the everyday mechanics of food and wine.
