This wine is Germano’s “base” Barolo, combining younger-vine fruit from the estate’s three Serralunga vineyards. It was macerated on its skins for 20 days during fermentation and it was aged for two years in 700-liter, mostly used barrels (much bigger than the 225-liter barrique but much smaller than the 50-hectoliter botti some producers still favor). In the glass, it is a robust ruby red, while the nose leads with a little riper, fruitier note than many Barolos: black cherry and blackcurrant jump out first, followed by rose petal, violet, pomegranate, fennel seed, tar, leather, and crushed stone. The palate is medium-plus in body, with a pronounced minerality and iron-shaving tannins, but a very energetic, viscous core of fruit remains. Still young and compact, it is nevertheless quite long and floral on the finish, and with a rough decanting and about an hour of air, it blossoms nicely. It will also age 10+ years with ease.
