Tasting notes
The Ettore Germano 2020 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is very representative of the village with aromas of earthy root and iron ore that fold into floral tones of lavender and dried rose. The wine is quite focused and sharp, but the intensity is not too dialed up. The wine ends with savory tones and loosely knit tannins. Production is 15,000 bottles.

Just mid ruby. Fragrant, subdued raspberry fruit with just a pinch of oak and saline hints. Compact, juicy raspberry fruit with lots of polished tannins. Very long and juicy and at the same time elegant. (WS)
A ripe youthful red color, the 2020 Barolo Del Comune Di Serralunga D'Alba is expressive out of the gates, with fresh fruity aromas of cranberry preserve, tangerine, sweet licorice, and dried alpine herbs. It brings forward good energy on the palate, with a linear feel and a delicate texture, fine tannins, a subtle iron mineral tone, and fresh acidity. This charming wine is drinking well now and will show at its best over the coming 5-7 years.
The 2020 Barolo is a fine entry-level offering from Sergio Germano. Sweet pipe tobacco, worn-in leather, brown spices, rosemary and dried cherry open with a bit of coaxing. There’s a good bit of Serralunga muscle, and yet the wine’s open bouquet suggests it is best enjoyed over the medium term.
