The 2020 Carema Riserva is a graceful and "ethereal" expression of mountain Nebbiolo, reflecting the high-altitude, terraced pergola vineyards of northern Piedmont. The nose is hauntingly aromatic, offering scents of dried cherries, tobacco, and incense layered with delicate notes of rose petals, mint, and sweet spices like cinnamon. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and silken, balancing a core of tart red fruit with fine, integrated tannins and a striking alpine freshness. The finish is long and savory, marked by a mineral backbone and a characteristic hint of licorice and cocoa. A "super-classic" wine that emphasizes finesse over power, capturing the cool-toned beauty of the Canavese region.
