Ettore Germano – Barolo DOCG 2017 Cerretta, Serralunga d’Alba

The nose offers a fine intensity / richness. It reveals notes of blackberry, fleshy strawberry and more slightly cornflower associated with touches of lilac, nutmeg, blueberries as well as a hint of cinnamon, vanilla and pepper. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, minerality, a certain elegance, a little richness / concentration and a fine grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy cherry, crushed raspberry and more slightly cornflowers, lilac associated with touches of fresh red berries as well as hints of laurel, with a subtle hint of black tea, liquorice and a fine touch of chocolate (at the bottom). Good length. The tannins are smooth, well-rounded and racy. A fine chew on the end of the mouth / persistence.
