In 1990, Sergio Germano returned from oenology school to his family’s six hectares in Serralunga d’Alba. As a fourth-generation wine grower – in a part of Barolo where most farmers sold their grapes to Fontanafredda, the largest négociant in the region – Sergio moved their entire production to estate vinification and bottling within two years. Today, with nearly 28 acres on and around the cru, Cerretta, he remains one of only a handful of artisan producers in Serralunga.
