Barolo Vignarionda 2017, Ettore Germano
Powerful, warm, and monumental profile. On the nose, black fruits, licorice, iron notes, and balsamic hints emerge. On the palate, it is full-bodied and vigorous, characterized by sculpted and dense tannins and a savory finish of rare nobility.
Barolo Vignarionda 2017, Ettore Germano
The 2017 Barolo Vigna Rionda by Ettore Germano is a monument to sculptural nobility, born from the most legendary cru of Serralunga d'Alba. In a warm and challenging vintage like 2017, Sergio Germano worked masterfully to tame the power of the terroir, elevating the density of the material to absolute nobility. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of deep, earthy complexity: notes of ripe morello cherry, plum, and violet blend with profound hints of graphite, dark tobacco, licorice root, and a balsamic trace of extraordinary nobility. On the palate, it is masterful: the entry is broad and commanding, supported by noble acidity and sculptural tannins, very dense and tight, which require time and aeration to reveal their velvety nobility, finishing on an endless, savory finale of absolute nobility.
