Description
Barolo Prapò Ettore Germano is born in Piedmont, in the narrow and productive strip of land of the Langhe. The wine is red and still, capable of excellently interpreting the most classic version of Barolo. Considered the nectar of kings since the time of Camillo Benso di Cavour, this version of Barolo, signed by the Germano family of winemakers, also blends elegance and character and is obtained through a long and careful process. The vineyards from which it is born, cultivated in Serralunga d'Alba on the hilly slopes of the Cerretta area, thrive on the richness of the soil composed primarily of limestone and, to a lesser extent, also of chalk and tuff. Temperate and harsh in winter, hot and rainy in summer, the variable climate of the Piedmontese hillside positively influences the various vintages, giving each one its own unique and unrepeatable characteristics. Made from 100% pure Nebbiolo grapes from the Prapò vineyard, this red wine is produced following the most traditional rules of vinification. The berries, after being carefully selected, are crushed using a destemmer-crusher. The resulting crushed, without removing the flavorful skins, is left to ferment for 30 days. The next step is aging: a full 24 months in large oak barrels bring out the aromatic and organoleptic properties of the Barolo Prapò Ettore Germano. The further 15 months of refinement in the bottle refine and intensify its distinctive and unmistakable characteristics.
