Carema DOC 2019

We could call it the other Nebbiolo. The one produced in the northernmost part of the region. We are talking about the Carema DOC area, proposed here by the Cantina Produttori di Carema. It comes from hillside vineyards, cultivated with the traditional pergola system in the municipality of the same name. A typical, dry and quiet red that reveals its full potential from the first taste. In the winery, vinification is simple but precise. Fermentation in steel, with a maceration of about 12 days. Then, after racking, the wine rests in the cellar for about two years, including at least 12 months in large oak barrels. This reveals a wine characterized by a beautiful ruby red color of medium intensity with garnet highlights. On the nose, spicy notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and under-ripe fruit. In the mouth, on the other hand, it proves soft, with nice tannin and acidity well integrated with the sweet notes brought by aging. The finish, long and pleasant, recalls the spicy notes. Good today, if well stored this wine guarantees great longevity. Even beyond 10 years, according to the indications of its producers. Always ready to be uncorked, to accompany tasty dishes such as agnolotti, risottos and polenta concia. Also excellent with game and grilled meats. Medium-aged meats and cheeses.
