{"product_id":"cantalupo-ghemme-collis-carellae-2013","title":"Cantalupo, Ghemme Collis Carellae, 2013","description":"A decade-old single-vineyard Ghemme, 100% Nebbiolo, now drinking in that mature window most Nebbiolo lovers never get to buy at the source. Cantalupo bottles Collis Carellae on its own since 1983, from the historical La Carella zone, where stony soils with a vein of clay give the darker-fruited of the estate's two principal crus. The grapes get 10–15 days on the skins with frequent rack-and-return, then roughly 30 months in cask before release — no shortcuts, and Ghemme's rules wouldn't allow them anyway. The wider magic here is geological: the retreat of the Monte Rosa glacier left Ghemme with unusually complex soils, which is why these Nebbiolos taste so pointedly of dirt and carry such racy structure. The Arlunno family has farmed these hills for 500 years, long making wine only for family and friends in cellars in town; the proper winery came only when Ghemme was promoted in 1969, dug into the hillside with the soil piled back on top so the lowest rooms stay cool without machinery. If you want to know what Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo becomes with age, this is the short cut.","brand":"Nebbia \u0026 Luce [NL]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50516523122745,"sku":"NYC-PVT-NL-092126-10","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-3403.jpg?v=1791227191","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/cantalupo-ghemme-collis-carellae-2013","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
