Tasting notes
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.

Ferrando’s 2007 Carema Etichetta Bianca doesn’t even need to be tasted, the bouquet alone is extraordinary.

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
