Germano Barolo Rue 2016
Nebbiolo | Italy
$49.95 $90.00 - 750mL
Factoid: The Germano family has owned a large portion of the Rue cru (Barolo commune) for 5 generations! Dating back to 1902, Germano is classic “old-school” Barolo, with a powerful personality and long-lived (epically long!) structure -- get a few extra for your kids or grandkids! It’s amazing we scored a bit at this price, the vast majority of these wines goes to sommeliers and stay in Europe, snapped up by collectors.
The wine is an experience -- wild rose, macerated cherry, plum jam, black tea, truffles and a hint of cinnamon or chai spice...rich, gripping and one of those incredibly intellectual wines that morphs and changes as you drink it over time, even days! Read a bit more about Germano’s history in the “About” section, but make sure you grab a few of this awesome buy for the cellar...only 22 cases!
PAIRING IDEAS: Gotta go with cheese here, and preferably some truffles, too. Pick a simple pasta with the best parm or pecorino you can buy to tame the tannins...so good!
MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Check out Jack White’s new single - "Taking Me Back"!
