Power...finesse....the last of these is where the Bianca really excels with its gorgeous and superfluously aromatic nose.  Ferrando’s Carema wines might just be the archetype of Nebbiolo purity.  With an energetic palate and nose, the aromatics soar out of the glass effortlessly while the palate hums along with tension, power, finesse and most importantly, length.

If there is any wine that defines the Ferrando “oeuvre” it is this one: the white label Carema. No single wine in the Rosenthal portfolio is more illustrative of their work than this brilliant rendition of Nebbiolo.  Ferrando was importer Neal Rosenthal’s first wines he imported back in 1980 and to this day his most favored child in a portfolio family of epic wines.

Winemaking The Nebbiolo grapes are typically harvested in late October; then, they undergo a cuvaison of approximately two weeks in stainless steel before being racked into a mixture of large and small barrels for an extensive aging period of 30 to 36 months before being bottled (without filtration). By law, the Carema cannot be released before 4 years of aging.

The Carema Bianca from Ferrando reveals the most elegant and delicate and complex characteristics of the Nebbiolo grape with a surprising capacity to age. It has been known to age perfectly for 30+ years, displaying vibrant, seductive qualities that are simply astonishing.
