Opinión de los críticos

Decanter:

The style of Ettore Germano has the rare merit to combine traditional equipment such as botti grandi with a contemporary idea of balance, including earlier picking and long yet soft macerations. The balance coming from this structured MGA is amazing. Firstly very reductive, it's focused on mineral tanginess of fresh red currants, citrus, cinnamon, peach skin, Earl Grey tea and liquorice. This complexity is wrapped up in an extremely savoury, soft attack with velvety tannins – sticky, youthful and sweet – and a dusty finish. Refreshing lively acidity is well integrated and completes the framework. Great concentration and potential. (Aldo Fiordelli)

The Wine Advocate:

One of the headline estates in Serralunga d'Alba, the Ettore Germano 2019 Barolo Cerretta shows a rich personality with sturdy fruit weight and concentration. The Cerretta is painted with broad brush strokes of dark fruit, blackberry, spice and tarry smoke. This bottle will appeal to those who enjoy more oomph and power in their Nebbiolo, possibly with a pairing of boiled beef and a side of mint sauce. Some 17,500 bottles were made. (Monica Larner)

James Suckling:

Aromas of ripe strawberries and cherries with dark chocolate, charred bark, spices and hints of leather. Medium- to full-bodied, structured and compact with polished tannins and velvety texture. Firm and focused. Try after 2026.
