Winery Ettore Germano

The Germano family traces its winemaking roots back to 1856; Azienda Agricola Ettore Germano was formally established in the 1970s. Ettore Germano, a central figure in the family, steered wine production toward a more structured operation beginning in the 1950s–60s; his son Sergio, a trained oenologist, led the company’s further development: the first commercial bottles were released in 1988, in 1993 the estate began vinifying and bottling its entire production, and in subsequent years it expanded its vineyard holdings with acquisitions in the crus of Cerretta, Prapò, Lazzarito and, by family inheritance, a portion of Vignarionda.

Passion, tradition and innovation: the estate pursues respect for the land and the enhancement of individual vineyards to produce wines characterized by elegance, typicity and recognizability of the cru.

Located in Serralunga d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe hills, the estate farms vineyards in local sites such as Cerretta, Prapò, Lazzarito and Vignarionda, and also has vineyards in Alta Langa.
