2011 Ettore Germano Langhe Nebbiolo
|
Merchant Reviews
In 1990, Sergio Germano returned from oenology school to his family's six hectares in Serralunga d'Alba. As a fourth-generation wine grower - in a part of Barolo where most farmers sold their grapes to Fontanafredda, the largest négociant in the region - Sergio moved their entire production to estate vinification and bottling within two years.
The DOC Langhe is Piemonte's open "appellation," equivalent to IGT in Tuscany, and this freedom, in Sergio's hands, has produced some exciting wine.
The Langhe Rosso Nebbiolo comes from young vines from a selection of the two crus, Prapò and Cerretta, as well as other sites. The wine is intended to celebrate the delicate aromatics of the Nebbiolo, and is aromatically complex, and structured wine, with fine-grained tannins.
