Ferrando is the legendary grower of Carema, the precipitous Alpine appellation in far northern Piedmont where Nebbiolo ripens on terraces near the Valle d'Aosta. The Etichetta Bianca is the estate's classic annual bottling, all cool-climate perfume, finesse, and structure, raised in a mix of large and small barrels. This is a mature back-vintage bottle from a private collection, now nearly two decades old and well into its drinking window, where mountain Nebbiolo turns earthy, floral, and savory. As a magnum, it has aged slowly and gracefully. A beautiful bottle for a special table.

More about Ferrando

If you’ve always assumed that Ferrando Carema was the name of this estate, you’d be forgiven. To those of us who already love the wines, Luigi Ferrando and the tiny little mountain town of Carema are indeed one and the same.

The DOC Carema is home to the most northern, high-altitude Nebbiolo in Piedmont. Since 1957, the Ferrando family has made wine here on steeply terraced vineyards, trained on pergola vines to obtain maximum exposure to the sun.

It’d be a bit peculiar to include the contrasting terroirs of Carema and Barolo within the same regional boundaries, were it not for the poetic justice that all great expressions of this diva grape play on Team Piedmont.

Yes, the euphoric aromas of tar and roses that make even the most stoic Barolo lover swirl and shiver are embedded in the DNA. But as if without permission, like a swift pull of a tablecloth from under an undisturbed setting of a dining room table, Ferrando’s Carema breathes in an alpine vitality that lifts the Nebbiolo off its heavy feet.
