The Barolo from Serralunga d'Alba, crafted by the skilled hands of Sergio Germano, celebrates the art of winemaking, reflecting the essence of dedication and excellence in Serralunga that characterizes the Ettore Germano winery. Produced in the lush hills of Serralunga d'Alba, the heart of Piedmont and Langa, this wine is the result of Nebbiolo grapes, known for their complex aromatic profile and pronounced tannic structure. The aging process includes malolactic fermentation and maturation in barrels of various sizes for 18-24 months, perfected by a six-month bottle refinement that enhances its sensory qualities. This Barolo stands out for its intense and bright garnet red color, while the bouquet unfolds with notes of rose and violet, enriched by nuances of red fruits like raspberry and cherry, and a touch of sweet spices. On the palate, a symphony of spirited red fruits masterfully binds with the tannins, as powerful as they are elegant, making the finish persistent and notably long. Such a refined structure testifies to the craftsmanship of Ettore Germano, demonstrating the winery's exceptional ability to balance power and delicacy. Perfectly pairable with a wide range of dishes, from roasted lamb to braised meats and aged cheeses, this Barolo demonstrates extraordinary versatility and readiness to elevate a variety of culinary experiences with its imposing and elegant presence.
