酒庄介绍：
Founded in 1890 by Giuseppe Ferrando; fifth generation today

Started making Carema in 1957
Also makes a “White Label,” which is the flagship wine (the “Black label” being the reserva); more feminine

酒评：
94 Points Antonio Galloni (WA): " …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” (10/11)

About Carema (DOC):
17 hectares; beneath Mt. Blanc
Elevation ~750m, steep
Only 2 producers: Ferrando and Produttori di Carema, a cooperative
More acidic (less ripe) and lighter (less tannic) than in Barolo / Barbaresco; acidity is key for aging

More length than breadth; more finesse than power
