From the heroic terraced vineyards of Carema, where Nebbiolo grows on steep Alpine slopes at the very northern edge of Piedmont, this is the Riserva (Etichetta Bianca) from the village's grower cooperative. It's a selection of the best casks, aged an extra year in large neutral oak (three years total), which trades a little fruit for deeper savory and mineral complexity. The high-elevation terroir makes for a lighter, more perfumed Nebbiolo than Barolo, with electric freshness. The 2010 was a classic vintage, and this Riserva is drinking beautifully at fifteen years. Decant and savor.

Antonio Galloni

90 points

"A bold, powerful wine, the 2010 Carema Riserva offers notable intensity in the mid-weight, sinewy style that is typical of Carema. Sweet red cherry, cherry pit, mint, white pepper and anise are some of the signatures. Still tightly wound and classic in its structure, the 2010 could use another year or two in bottle, but it is quite pretty, even today." —Antonio Galloni

"Rose petal, violet, woodland berry, sage and eucalyptus aromas come together in the glass. The juicy palate doles out ripe strawberry, red cherry, cinnamon-spice and nectarine zest alongside bright acidity and lithe tannins. Enjoy through 2025." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Produttori di Carema

Every so often, we taste a wine that is so emblematic of its grape and place that We're momentarily taken aback.

For some of the purest, most classical Nebbiolo character you can find, head to the northernmost reaches of Piedmont, and the high quality cooperative of Produttori di Carema. Here, over 70 smallholders combine their grape growing prowess and winemaking abilities, crafting wines of great purity.

Alto Piemonte has long been considered an insider’s source for fine Nebbiolo, more lithe in body and perhaps more mineral-driven than that of its southern neighbors, Barolo and Barbaresco. The closer we get to the Alps, the more we see the singular essence of mountain wines: they're more lifted, translucent and refreshing. That being said, they don't lack for acid or structure and can be as ageworthy as any Langhe wine.

The grapes are grown on steep, terraced slopes and secured by pergola-like beams to keep them firmly in the ground, safe from the region’s fierce winds. Although the winds are cooling, the grapes receive ample sunshine, allowing for a long hang time and a later harvest. Perfectly ripe grapes keep Nebbiolo’s naturally high acid in check, but also allow for the development of an alluring perfume, age worthy structure and bright minerality.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Braised game, polenta with mushroom ragu, roasted guinea fowl, or aged Alpine cheeses like fontina and toma.

Tasting Profile

High-altitude Nebbiolo with extra aging. Rose, dried red fruit, dried herbs and a savory, mineral depth, now mellowed by time. Medium-bodied, elegant, with fine resolving tannins, bright acidity and a long, perfumed finish.
