Tasting Notes: On the nose, the Ferrando Carema Etichetta Bianca offers aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and black currant, with hints of violet and rose petals, as well as earthy notes of tar and leather. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with firm tannins, high acidity, and a good balance of fruit and minerality. The flavors are similar to the aroma, with additional notes of tobacco, licorice, and spices, such as clove and cinnamon. The finish is long and elegant, with a subtle bitterness that adds to the wine's complexity.
Estate History: Carema’s origin story is the stuff that raises our arm hairs: a singular terroir, nestled in the foothills of the Alps in the long shadows of Mont Blanc; a visually breathtaking amphitheater of steeply terraced vines trained to hang from ancient pergolas; and a family—the only family to produce a Carema under their own name—of immense warmth, profound intuition, and unquenchable passion for their home soil. Like all of the world’s greatest wines, the mere existence of Ferrando Carema almost defies logic. It speaks to something deep in our human blood, something that seems to need to toil in difficult, grueling environments in order to wring out the very taste of the earth itself.
