GERMANO ETTORE
…a farm that is the story of our family.
The family is for us the traditions and experience of the farmers, the understanding from our fathers.
A strength of our small farm is that we have a deep knowledge like that of our own vines. The ability to cure maniacally what natures grants and the awareness that new technologies and professional skills help to improve the life of the farmer and the quality of the final product without losing sight of the laws of nature that remain unchanged in time.
Always having a respect for the territory the “diligence of a good family man” that cultivates to produce while keeping intact the characteristics fo the individual vines, preserving the diversity of aromas and the complexity that each individual vineyard expresses.
Passion, tradition, but also….evolution! These are the keywords of our journey.

-Winemaking-
The grapes are hand harvested and transported in small baskets to the winery. Once the grapes arrive they are then de-stemmed and lightly crushed to undergo alcoholic fermentation in vertical steel tanks. The maceration will take place for about 40-45 days with several pump overs happening daily, and also the occasional délastage, to encourage extraction of color and tannins. After racking and malo-lactic fermentation, the wine is then placed into Medium-sized oak barrels. Each barrel having a different age and a different passage, the wine will then age there for 18 to 24 months, depending on the vintage.
After this aging the wines will then be ready to be bottled and will rest in bottle for another 12 months before being available to the market.
-Tasting notes-
- Color: intense garnet red with light orange reflections.
- Nose: ripe red fruit and vanilla. After the first couple of years in bottle evolves into hints of leather, tobacco and some small dark fruits.
- Palate: Full bodied with great structure and elegant tannings, thanks to the time spent in barrel.
- Pairings: Aged cheeses, savory dishes, and game. Great even after a meal to spend time thinking about the nuances and aromas in the wine.
