About Ettore Germano
The Germano family has owned 6 hectares of land near Serralunga d Alba, in the heart of the Barolo area, since 1856. Ettore Germano founded his eponymous winery in the 1960s as the first of his family to begin producing and bottling estate wines. His son, Sergio, took over operations in 1985, following his schooling at the prestigious Scuola Enologica di Alba. Sergio has made his mark in the famed hills of Barolo, Alba, and Langhe, particularly with his pioneering interest in growing Chardonnay and Riesling as well as Pinot Noir for traditional method sparkling wine. The estate now consists of 10 hectares of red varieties in Serralunga and about 10 hectares in Cigli dedicated to the production of white and sparkling wines. Sergio has no shortage of creative energy when it comes to innovation and new wine horizons but is staunchly unwavering in his approach to Barolo. His wife loved the wines from Spain, so in an abandoned hectare he planted Tempranillo over ten years ago. He has always been passionate about sparkling wines from champagne, specifically, so several years ago he planted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with the intent of making great sparkling wines from the Langhe, which later evolved to an amazing sparkling Nebbiolo ros . Barolo, however, has always been terroir specific and most importantly close to the cellar. Cerretta, PraPo, Lazzarito, and now Vigna Rionda are on Germano labels and expressed through his farming and stewardship in the cellar.
