High in the Alps, where Piedmont runs up against the Valle d'Aosta, sits Carema, one of the smallest and most dramatic places Nebbiolo grows. The vines climb stone-walled terraces on traditional pergolas, chasing every ray of alpine sun, and Ferrando is the legendary grower who made this tiny appellation famous. Their White Label is the classic annual bottling, a high-toned, perfumed take on Nebbiolo that trades Barolo's power for elegance and remarkable staying power. This one is from 2007, so it's had nearly two decades to unwind into the savory, tertiary depths that make mature Carema so beguiling. A rare chance to drink alpine Nebbiolo already showing its full hand.

"Ferrando's 2007 Carema Etichetta Bianca doesn't even need to be tasted, the bouquet alone is extraordinary. Sweet rose petals, tar, licorice and star anise are just some of the nuances that waft from the glass in this striking Nebbiolo. The tannins are firm, yet silky, but nevertheless are a sure sign this is a wine from one of Piedmont's northerly appellations. As it sits in the glass the wine acquires more depth in a virtuosic display of class and elegance. This is an immensely pleasurable bottle of wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared." —Antonio Galloni

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.
