Carema 2003
Recently I tried a bottle of the 2003 Carema from Cantina Produttori Nebbiolo di Carema. This wine is from the northwest region of the Piedmont section of northern Italy. This area is mainly known for its outstanding Barolos and Barbarescos. The grape for all of these wines is the nebbiolo. While the Barolo and Barbaresco are fuller wines, the Carema is a medium bodied, less tannic wine that is grown higher in the Italian Alps. The aroma is sweet like strawberries and roses. A very fruit forward wine with tastes of raspberries and plum. It had a long enjoyable finish. For half the price of a nice Barolo,try this Carema 2003. This will cellar nicely and only get better. Paired very nicely with pork but will be great with most meats and pasta.

Hi Vicky,
ReplyDeleteI found it at Wine Wise in CT. They unfortunately do not show on their web (winewiseshop.com) what wines are in stock but the phone number is on the bottom. Ask for Doug. He is the store manager and is a very knowledgeable wine guy who allows you to try the wines before purchasing them. Good luck and thanks for writing.
