"The 2017 Carema Etichetta Nera is laced with wild cherry, spice, leather, cedar and dried herbs. A wine of amplitude and power, the 2017 has a lot to offer. I would cellar it for a few years to allow some of the formidable tannins to soften. Over the last few years, the oak impact has come down in this bottling, which is certainly a positive development." - Antonio Galloni, VINOUS MEDIA

"This exceptional and rare wine is produced only in the finest vintages. It comes from a special selection of grapes harvested from several particularly well-placed parcels within the appellation (frequently from the Silanc and Siei vineyard sites). Aged for at least three years prior to bottling, the “elevage” is done primarily in small barrels, only a small percentage of which are new." - ROSENTHAL WINE MERCHANT

"Fermented in steel tanks at a controlled temperature, with a grape maceration of about ten days. Refinement lasts 36 months, as required by the production protocol. Refinement takes place in barriques and tounneaux.
Rich garnet red, clear and dense. Intense bouquet of spicy fragrances and ripe red fruit, with fine hints of violets and berries. The flavour gives intense alcoholic notes and a good sense of freshness.
This wine should be served at a room temperature of 18/20°c in ample red wine goblets. An excellent match with red meat, pot roast, venison, mature cheese.
Vintage Black Label Carema Ferrando is only produced in the best vintage years. Due to the limited amount of bottles produced it has always been and will remain a wine for a lucky few…" - WINERY NOTES
