Ettore Germano, Barolo Cerretta, 2016
Cerretta is one of Barolo's most prestigious crus, located in Serralunga d'Alba on southeast-facing slopes rich with limestone. Ettore Germano ferments the Nebbiolo from 1990-planted vines in temperature-controlled stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, followed by 30-40 days of extended maceration. Aging occurs for 24 months in large Slavonian oak casks (2,500-5,000 liters), a traditional approach that builds complexity without heavy oak overlay. The result shows scorched earth, toasted hazelnut, underbrush and camphor notes framed by taut, fine-grained tannins.
