List of products by brand Ettore Germano

Winemakers since the mid-19th century. On the Cerretta hill, in Serralunga d'Alba, in the province of Cuneo, the Germano family has been involved in viticulture since 1856. First it was the great-grandfather Francesco, then it was the grandfather Alberto: they were the ones who took care of the vineyards owned by the family Germano, producing small quantities of wines and above all by selling the grapes. Later, Alberto's son Ettore arrived: he was responsible for the company renewal, so from the 1950s the vineyards have been replanted and re-grafted, using mass selections and bringing the density to 4 thousand vines per hectare. The Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo grapes thus began to respond to higher quality levels than in the past, and at the same time the vineyard area was extended thanks to the purchase of neighboring plots.

In the mid-1980s, it will then be the turn of Ettore's son, Sergio Germano who, on the strength of his recent studies in enology and viticulture, enters the company, bringing with him the desire to start producing wine under the brand family: since 1993 this is how all the grapes produced have been vinified, but not only: at the same time a new vineyard is planted in Alta Langa, exactly in Cigliè, where the white vines of Rhine Riesling and Chardonnay are planted, which years later they will give simply excellent results. Today the total hectares of property are about 15, ten located in Serralunga d'Alba for the red grape varieties, and five in Cigliè for the white grapes: the wines that are born are all of the highest quality, from the "Binel" to “Herzu”, from Dolcetto “Lorenzino” to the “Vigna della Madre”, from Barolo to Nebbiolo of the Langhe, up to the Spumanti. Labels, those that bear the name of “Ettore Germano” superimposed, able to speak the language of the best oenological excellence of Piedmont.
