Descrizione

The Herzu Riesling Langhe DOC 2022 produced by Ettore Germano represents a fascinating example of the Riesling varietal cultivated in the picturesque hills of Langhe, in Piedmont. This white wine stands out for its intense aromatic profile and vibrant freshness.

On the nose, the Herzu offers a sophisticated bouquet marked by floral notes of jasmine and acacia, enriched with hints of citrus, such as lemon and lime, and a slight minerality reminiscent of wet stone, typical of the limestone soils on which the vines are grown.

On the palate, it is lively and full of energy, with a crisp acidity that perfectly balances its medium structure. Flavors of green apple and white peach mingle with a subtle spicy note that lingers through to a long and pleasantly mineral finish.

Ideal as an aperitif, this Riesling from Ettore Germano pairs splendidly with fish dishes, seafood, and fresh cheeses. Also perfect as a companion for a summer evening, the Herzu Riesling Langhe DOC 2022 is a refined and high-level interpretation that carries all the elegance and freshness of its terroir of origin.

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.
