Ettore Germano Barolo DOCG Del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba 2019, 0,75 L

Ettore Germano's Barolo reaches an impressive standard even in its basic version, particularly in the outstanding 2019 vintage, renowned for its near-perfect conditions for Nebbiolo.

Consistently awarded between 93 and 95 points by Wine Enthusiast across vintages, the 2019 release is anticipated to rank at the upper end of this scale.

In the glass, it presents a typical Barolo appearance—brilliant, brick-red in colour. This wine benefits greatly from aeration and decanting several hours in advance, enhancing its drinkability and enjoyment.

Sourced from the Prapò, Cerretta, and Lazzarito vineyards, it embodies a classic Barolo profile, matured for 24 months in large wooden barrels.

The 2019 vintage exhibits a denser, more compact nose compared to its predecessors, featuring characteristic hints of herbs and liquorice. The palate confirms its classic Barolo status with juicy intensity, powerful structure, perfectly ripened tannins, and vibrant acidity that adds to its liveliness. The finish is long and herbal-spicy, underscored by delightful balsamic nuances.

This Barolo pairs exceptionally well with red meat, game dishes like ragù, and aged cheeses.

Ettore Germano's wines are highly coveted, particularly in the USA. Securing a bottle promises a delightful experience for any enthusiast.
