A change in direction with the 2018 version of this wine: bright, fresh, floral and almost Grignolino-like. Lots of little strawberries and cherries. Took a chill nicely, and the chill pointed the acidity and brought the whole thing together.

All the good Nebbiolo stuff you want- tea rose, spice box and raspberry- with a freshness and gulpable quality that almost make it chillworthy. The genius in this wine is that you can drink it with pleasure after a day of tasting A-list Barolo. #nebbiolo #langhe #germano

Wow - huge bang for the buck. Seems like an interesting blend of old and new school Lots of bright, pretty, accessible fruit with just enough earth and tannin to remind you its Nebbiolo

Sweet core. Feminine, perfumed, perfectly ripe. High-toned. A different animal than the '13...superb! #ettoregermano #langhe #nebbiolo

Great way to finish a day of Nebbiolo. Not far off the Barolo big guns, either!

A pretty expression of Nebbiolo with an emphasis on the florals.

Ruby red trailing to pink. Dry with a nice blend of tannins and acidity. Hints of sour cherry and red raspberry. Some notes of baseball glove with a pleasant peppery finish. Paired excellently with Johnny Marzetti.
