Germano Ettore - Serralunga d'Alba, Piemonte
This estate lays on one of the most important crus of Serralunga d'Alba, named Cerretta, a hill with a wide winegrowing area facing south, southwest. The 6.6 hectares of vineyards are dedicated to the cultivation of grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto and Nebbiolo, while a smaller area is reserved for the experimental cultivation of Riesling and Brachetto. Originally Ettore and his father, Alberto would sell their production to other winemakers. In 1975 they began bottling a small portion of their wines, and in 1990, after graduating with a degree in oenology and several internships, Ettore's son, Sergio began to work in the estate and started to bottle and sell more of the wines. By 1993 the entire production was destined for estate vinification and bottling. The estate is still run by the Germano family: Sergio and his wife Elena tend to cultivation, winemaking, and the sale of their entire production.
