Description

The Spumante Alta Langa Extra Brut by Ettore Germano is born in the heart of the Piedmont hills, an area renowned for the production of sparkling wines with great elegance and finesse. Made with selected Pinot Nero grapes, this spumante stands out for its fine and persistent bubbles, the result of prolonged aging on the lees that enhances its aromatic complexity. On the nose, delicate aromas of bread crust, citrus, and yeast emerge, while the sip, dry and savory, offers a pleasant freshness with mineral notes that underline its territorial identity. The cellar aging follows strict artisanal methods that preserve the purity of the grape variety and the structure of the wine. This Extra Brut is perfect as a sophisticated aperitif and pairs well with dishes based on light fish or delicate appetizers, ideal for those seeking an authentic and refined tasting experience.

Winery history

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.

Production philosophy

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.

Terroir and vineyards

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.
