Tasting notes
The 2007 Carema Etichetta Nera is a little less aromatically complex than the Etichetta Bianca and more full-bodied through the mid-palate and finish. It boasts superb juiciness in its dark cherries, plums, sweet herbs and spices. The oak is exceptionally well-integrated in this vintage. I often prefer the Etichetta Bianca, but in 2007 both wines are striking for their beauty and sheer expressiveness. The round, caressing finish makes it nearly impossible to put the glass down.

Anticipated maturity: 2012-2027. These are two insanely beautiful wines from Ferrando. The 2007s are among the best wines I have ever tasted from this property in Carema, one of the smallest and least well-known appellations in Piedmont. Simply put, I can’t recommend these wines highly enough. Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchants, Pine Plains, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990
