The Barolo Vignarionda is fermented with whole clusters. It sees two years in medium-format oak, but spends an additional year in bottle prior to being released. Germano fans will note a restyling of the labels, which are now drawn by Sergio Germano's wife, Elena.

Wine Profile
Aromas of underbrush, camphor, fragrant pipe tobacco and a whiff of scorched earth form the nose on this captivating red. Firmly structured and boasting finesse, the youthful palate already shows great depth and precision, delivering raspberry compote, juicy black cherry, licorice and a hint of hazelnut set against firm fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Give it time to fully develop. Drink 2025–2040.
