Ballerina-Like Elegance:
2020 Ferrando Carema Etichetta Bianca

Posted by Joe Salamone

Ferrando's Carema is alpine Nebbiolo of breathtaking grace.

At high altitudes, in the shadows of Mt. Blanc, on soil that's pretty much eroded rock, the grape assumes a level of finesse that's gorgeous and hauntingly singular.

Ferrando's Carema has an indescribable and profound impact on many who taste the wine. It is Nebbiolo at its purest, its most energetic, and its most aromatic. 

The just arrived 2020 Carema Etichetta Bianca is a fascinating expression of the wine. In these northern climates the ripeness adds an extra dimension to the lithe frame. The wine carries this additional punch and nuance beautifully without sacrificing any of its ballerina-like elegance. It boasts rocky minerality combined with herbs, tar, and crushed flowers.

For decades, Ferrando's Carema has been the benchmark for the beauty and profundity that Nebbiolo achieves in the northern extremes. The 2020 dramatizes the qualities that make the Etichetta Bianca one of the northern Piedmont's most famous wines. 

The wine ages beautifully and in vintages like 2020, the combination of acidity and stuffing allows it to age 15-20+ years. For fans of Carema, this is a don't miss.
