ETTORE GERMANO
We couldn’t agree more with Antonio Galloni’s assessment that Sergio Ettore at Ettore Germano is “one of Piedmont's emerging artisan growers. Each year the wines get better and better”. We tasted the stunning Nebbiolos at the estate with Sergio Ettore, and his team, who have looked after this fourth-generation Cerretta based winery since 1985, along with his wife Elena. The hill of Cerretta is one of Serralunga d’Alba’s most important Crus, and along with holdings here, the Germano family own vines in some of Barolo’s best vineyards, with plots in Lazzarito, one of Barolo’s true ‘Grand Crus’, Cerretta, Prapò and now, thanks to an inheritance, even the legendary Vigna Rionda. Sergio and Elena have overseen an evolution in the vineyards transitioning to biodynamic viticulture, as well as in the cellar, where every step of the production is carefully and delicately managed to ensure the vineyards can express themselves truthfully. The approach in the cellar is traditional, with long macerations of 30-50 days, depending on the vintage conditions and site, and 24 months in oak before bottling for all the Barolo wines
