95 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$50 list] Aromas of underbrush, crushed mint and new leather mingle with a whiff of wild rose. The full-bodied, savory palate shows poise and structure, delivering dried cherry, orange zest, grilled porcini and licorice. It closes on an almond note while taut, fine-grained tannins offer support. Drink 2023–2029. Alcohol 14.5%. (Sep 2021)"
93 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "[$50 list] With some 9,500 bottles made, the Ettore Germano estate submits this wine as proof of its expertise in Serralunga d'Alba Nebbiolo. The 2017 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba reveals tight red fruit, with waxy cherry and cassis at the front. Those primary tones cede to spice, rusty iron, crushed stone, grilled herb and rosemary essence. The wine shows lots of dimension and a clear, linear style. Drink: 2023-2038. (Jun 2021)"
92 points James Suckling: "Needs plenty of air to bring out the raspberry-like, red-fruit base with some meaty spice and oak. Medium-to full-bodied with intense spicy-oaky flavors and a savory finish that leaves a lightly salty aftertaste. Chewy now, but should even out with time. Try after 2023. (7/2/21)"
91 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2017 Barolo Del Comune Di Serralunga D'Alba is noted by cinnamon, candied raspberry, mint, and fresh earth. There is a refreshing astringency up front, with cherry lozenge, medicinal herbs, and orange rind. Ripe, bright, and structured, it has a pleasant youthful energy that is welcome for drinking now or to hold 3-5 years and drink 2023-2036. (5/27/21)"
