WA-Rated Ettore Germano Barolo Serralunga d’Alba Red Wine

Ettore Germano 2019 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba
Hailing from the prestigious Serralunga d’Alba commune in Italy’s renowned Piedmont region, Ettore Germano’s 2019 Barolo delivers a masterclass in Nebbiolo’s potential. Crafted from hand-harvested grapes grown in prized vineyards like Prapò and Cerretta—known for their rugged terroir—this wine balances bold intensity with refined elegance. A standout among Serralunga-based Barolos, it captures the essence of this iconic Italian region while offering complexity that wine enthusiasts seek.

The 2019 vintage showcases vibrant acidity and structured tannins typical of Serralunga’s terroir-driven Nebbiolos. On the nose, bright strawberry and cherry aromas mingle seamlessly with deeper layers of pomegranate and floral violet notes before evolving into earthy undertones of dried rosemary, licorice root, and mineral-rich iron ore—a signature trait of wines from this commune’s clay-and-sandstone soils.

Pair this full-bodied Barolo with hearty dishes such as braised short ribs or aged cheeses; its precise balance of power and finesse makes it equally enjoyable now or cellar-worthy for future savoring. At 14% alcohol by volume, it offers a lush yet agile mouthfeel that distinguishes it from bulkier expressions of Piedmont’s noble grape variety.

Celebrated by Wine Advocate with a stellar 93-point rating for its robust fruit-forward character intertwined with Serralunga’s hallmark earthy depth, this bottle is ideal for collectors seeking authentic regional representation or those exploring Italy’s top-tier red wines. Whether you’re hosting a special occasion or expanding your cellar portfolio with age-worthy Italian varietals like Nebbiolo-based Barolo wines from Piedmont’s prime zones, this bottling delivers unmatched value backed by critical acclaim.
