Ettore Germano Barolo Serralunga d’Alba showcases the elegance of Nebbiolo. The wine comes from vineyards in Serralunga d’Alba, a renowned area for structured and age-worthy Barolo. The south and southwest-facing slopes provide excellent sun exposure for optimal grape ripening. The soils are rich in limestone and clay, contributing to the wine’s complexity and minerality.
The Nebbiolo grapes are harvested by hand at peak ripeness to ensure quality. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with temperature control. This process preserves the purity of fruit and allows for gentle extraction of tannins. The wine undergoes maceration for several weeks to enhance structure and depth. After fermentation, it matures in large oak barrels for around 24 months. This ageing process imparts refinement while maintaining the wine’s vibrant character.
Ettore Germano Barolo Serralunga d’Alba has a deep garnet colour with orange hues that develop over time. The nose offers aromas of red cherries, dried roses, liquorice, and subtle spices. Hints of tobacco and truffle emerge as the wine evolves in the glass. The palate is full-bodied, with firm tannins and bright acidity providing remarkable balance. Flavours of ripe red fruits, earthy undertones, and a touch of balsamic linger on the finish.
This Barolo pairs beautifully with rich meat dishes, aged cheeses, and truffle-based recipes. Decanting enhances its complexity and softens the tannins. While enjoyable now, it will continue to improve with cellaring for 10 to 20 years. Ettore Germano’s dedication to tradition and innovation ensures that this Barolo represents the best of Serralunga d’Alba. It is an exceptional choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a classic yet distinctive expression of Barolo.
This Barolo shows a huge amount of character and definition. It is a wine that will undoubtedly put a smile upon your face.
It is perfumed with floral scents of violets and rose petal initially, then bright red fruit surges through to entice you in to the deep and brooding suede and leather nuances.
The palate is deep with more of that fresh red fruit and an earthy meaty grip backed up by super smooth tannins and a silky body.
Yes, it is powerful, rich, intense and concentrated but, my word, this is a sumptuous wine!
