Earlier this week, we offered Ferrando's 2020 Etichetta Bianca. Today, we return with the much more limited Etichetta Nera.
The longevity of Ferrando’s Carema Etichetta Nera is legendary. Stories abound of the wine showing beautifully at 20, 25, and even thirty years old.

The Etichetta Nera is only produced in the top vintages from the best sites, usually the Silanc and Siei vineyards. Compared to Bianca, Etichetta Nera is richer, denser, more masculine, and intense. It’s a powerhouse wine but with breathtaking finesse.
As we said in our 2020 Etichetta Bianca offering, in these northern climates the ripeness adds an extra dimension to the lithe frame.
The 2020 Etichetta Nera is a total knock-out with serious length and structure. It’s concentrated and deeply complex: dark cherry, tobacco, kirsch, licorice, wildflowers, and dried herbs.
Ferrando's Caremas are wines that we support every year, because every year it has something fascinating to say. The 2020 is packed and finessed. It's a compelling combination.
