Ferrando, Carema Etichetta Bianca, 2007
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.
