Ettore Germano Description

Winemaker Notes

The Prapò and Cerretta vineyards are right next to each other, but the difference between the two wines is striking. Cerretta is more structured, shows the Serralunga dark chocolate character even more strongly, with a strong sandalwood/tobacco note. Ages superbly.

Critical Acclaim

WE96
Wine Enthusiast
Aromas of menthol, dark spice and rose form the enticing nose. Showing its Serralunga pedigree, the palate is youthfully austere but incredibly refined, delivering ripe raspberry, Morello cherry and licorice along with hints of coffee bean and hazelnut. A backbone of fine-grained tannins provides firm support. Drink now–2047.
WS94
Wine Spectator

Bright and charming, this strawberry- and cherry-flavored red is light on its feet and mouthwatering, with accents of tar and tobacco adding interest. No pushover, this packs some lively tannins, ending with fine balance and length overall.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Ettore Germano 2017 Barolo Cerretta shows a shiny ruby color and lots of ambient light. The bouquet is nuanced and detailed, with cassis, dried cranberry, camphor ash and crushed flowers. This wine excels in terms of texture, thanks to that twofold combination of structure and elegant silkiness. This is a sharply chiseled and focused Cerretta release of some 75,000 bottles.

The 2017 Barolo Cerretta is coming into its own, tasted two years later, and remains fresh and pure. Its aromatics are a bit more inward compared to the 2018 at this point, with ripe cherry candy, anise, and cedar. The palate offers sanguine and iron-rich tones, with ripe, present tannins and generous fruit to support it.
