Ettore Germano
About Ettore Germano
Having been around as a vine grower since 1856, the Germano family is deeply rooted in Barolo DOCG, and it was the third generation, Ettore Germano, who founded his eponymous winery in the 1960s. However, it is Ettore’s son, Sergio Germano, who has fully realized the potential of this ancient estate and has taken the family property to new heights.
Traditional and classic in nature, the wines under the watchful eyes of Sergio Germano have seen notable improvement since being certified organic. Sustainable and chemical-free agriculture aside, the estate also follows local and traditional winemaking practices. With extended fermentation lasting anywhere from 30-60 days and using whole-bunch during vinification, Sergio’s Barolos are robust, old-school and long-lasting, thoughtfully expressing the varietal and the soil.
A winemaker with no shortage of creativity, Sergio Germano is famous for pioneering the cultivation of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling in Piedmont. Being one of the first in the region to produce sparkling wines, half of his portfolio has been dedicated to these amazing sparklers, which have garnered massive critical acclaim.

Vinous (93)The 2016 Barolo Cerretta is gorgeous. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, flowers and white pepper give this aromatic, mid-weight Barolo a real feeling of finesse that also comes through in the silky red berry fruit flavors. There is just enough grip to give the mid-palate and finish energy, but overall this is a relatively approachable Barolo that will drink well with minimal cellaring. |

Wine Enthusiast (96)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. |

Vinous (94)The 2016 Barolo Prapò captures all of the wild, unrestrained character that is so typical of wines from this district of Serralunga. Dried herbs, menthol, underbrush, licorice, pine, cloves and incense play off a core of dark fruit. Virile and imposing, with plenty of clout, the 2016 is super-impressive in the early going. |

Wine Advocate (95)A 9,000-bottle release, the 2017 Barolo Prapò is chiseled and whetted with a fine and carefully measured combination of fruit weight, structural power and mineral freshness. The bouquet offers cassis, wild plum, baked clay brick and camphor ash. The wine settles smoothly onto the palate and shows impressive integration with no rough edges to be found. |

Wine Enthusiast (97)Aromas of underbrush, camphor, fragrant pipe tobacco and a whiff of scorched earth form the nose on this captivating red. Firmly structured and boasting finesse, the youthful palate already shows great depth and precision, delivering raspberry compote, juicy black cherry, licorice and a hint of hazelnut set against firm fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Give it time to fully develop. Drink 2025–2040. |

Wine Enthusiast (99)Enticing aromas of rose, iris, wild berry and spice appear in this gorgeous red. Combining structure and finesse, the delicious palate delivers ripe raspberry, Marasca cherry, star anise and pipe tobacco set against a backbone of firm, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it impeccably balanced while a tangy mineral note lingers on the finish. While it's still quite young, it already shows class, pedigree and excellent aging potential. Drink 2026–2046. |
