Carema Classico, Produttori di Carema - 2019

Item # 14607 750 mL

Carema is a wine valued for its perfume and elegance, but it has the structure and acidity to age for decades. This shows the aromatic fireworks that only Nebbiolo grown in this unique terroir can have: the floral, smoky, chocolatey nose is followed by delicate fruit and orange rind on the palate.

Staff Pick Notes

Coming from the smallest DOC in Italy, spanning only 18 hectares, this is a very refreshing style of nebbiolo true to the varietal but uniquely different than the more commonly sought after options from Barolo/Langhe. Utilizing the Picotener clone of the varietal, and grown in much higher altitude (between 300 and 600 meters) this wine shows a much more energetic side of Nebbiolo with racier acidity and softer tannic structure. While some in this appellation utilize small amounts of Neyret, this 100% Nebbiolo varietal wine accentuates the elegance of the area. Still showcasing a beautiful bouquet of rose petal and violet and filling the palate with sensations of fresh picked raspberry and orange peel. This is a wine that is easily enjoyable in the earlier years, but can create even more complexity with a touch more age.

There are plenty of Nebbiolo-based wines that are quite enjoyable in their youth, however, often produced in smaller, lesser-known regions such as Ghemme or Gattinara.
