More questions
From the heart of the hills of Serralunga d'Alba, a famous cru in the prestigious Barolo territory, comes this Barolo Serralunga DOCG signed Ettore Germano. The Nebbiolo grape, the undisputed prince of the area, expresses here all its complexity and longevity, thanks to the terroir rich in calcareous marl and the expert vinification of the winery.
The traditionally long aging, which can exceed 36 months in oak barrels, gives this Barolo a powerful and refined character, with elegantly integrated tannins. In the glass, it presents an intense garnet red color, while the bouquet releases scents of withered rose, cherry, sweet spices, and tobacco notes that evolve with aging.
On the palate, it is structured and enveloping, capable of accompanying red meat dishes, braised meats, and aged cheeses, embodying the best of Piedmontese winemaking tradition.

The story
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.
