represent such a high / refined / (haughty/fancy) - emotion/thrill
Only from a grammatical point of view could "son" (= sono) bear io (I) as the subject.
Even without context I rule that out.
It should refer to a plural, e.g. "le carezze / le dolci parole / i riconoscimenti / i begli uomini / le belle donne" ecc.
Evidently choosing the best fitting word for "aulica" does depend on context.

: it cannot be "I am" with emotion afterwards; it would be awkward

Sono stato un po' implicito, ma non intendevo cassare quanto hai detto tu né togliere valore al contesto. Possibile che la frase sia "io son sì aulica emozione per l'uomo mio", ma improbabile. Se poi fossi l'uomo... fuggirei a gambe levate! Maurizio

provoke/arouses such courtly emotion
Aulic often refers to what in literature is courtly love.
I went for the verb provoke as this plural subject that you haven't told us

References to courtly love and other courtly emotions are central to Italian lyrical poetry and ballads throughout the middle ages
