Ettore Germano
Sergio was born in 1965, he spent his free time after school, helping his parents in the vineyards. Sergio contributed to the conversion of the family farm into a full-fledged winery. In 1988 the first 5,000 bottles of Barolo, Dolcetto, and Barbera, were placed on the market together with a small production of Chardonnay. However, the turning point came in 1993 when all the grapes produced were vinified and bottled. In 1995 Sergio bought about two hectares of Cerretta and he started with his challenge to produce white wines in Alta Langa, planting the first vineyards of Chardonnay, Reisling in Cigliè. In 1997 Sergio married Elena Bonelli who has given great support to the winery. The family then starts to grow with two children: Elia and Maria. After a few years, Sergio purchases another hectare in the vineyards of Prapò (2002), Lazzarito (2002), and also another parcel in Cerretta(2001). In 2010 Sergio’s mother inherited an half hectare in the most historic vineyard of Serralunga d’Alba: Vignarionda.
Sergio’s goal is to express the territory and the character of the various vines, trying to express elegance and finesse in the wines, which as a Piedmontese traction, are generally combined with gastronomy
