Germano Ettore - Serralunga d'Alba, Piemonte
Langhe Rosso Balàu, D.O.C.
50% Dolcetto, 25% Barbera, and 25% Merlot grapes. 5000 bottles produced. Traditional and separate fermentation takes place for the two varieties. After the second racking the two wines are placed together in second passage barriques, where they rest for 12 months before bottling. The highly calcareous soil and old vines produce a wine of great structure with an interesting tannic evolution in the wood. Its color is dark ruby red with garnet tints. Its fruity bouquet recalls plum jam and berries with spicy hues and vanilla flavors. It is an excellent candidate for bottle aging.
