KERIN O'KEEFE 95 POINTS - "From one of the most hallowed sites in the entire denomination, the 2019 Ettore Germano Vigna Rionda has alluring aromas of wild rose, perfumed berry, forest floor and a balsamic note of camphor. It’s elegantly structured and full-bodied, featuring juicy Morello cherry, licorice and pipe tobacco alongside tightly knit, velvety tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well balanced. Drink 2029–2044.

WINE ADVOCATE 95+ POINTS - "The Ettore Germano 2019 Barolo Vignarionda is rich and sweetly concentrated with a dark core of syrupy cherry or raspberry coulis. The wine most definitely shows the power and richness of Serralunga d'Alba. The tannins are quite firm and make your mouth pucker. This wine needs more time to age and integrate. Those tannins are textured and grainy with grilled herb and a hint of sweet spice. Only 2,700 bottles were created."
