Ferrando: The Essence of Carema

Nebbiolo is such a beguiling, complex, mysteriously beautiful grape. In Carema’s best sites, the indigenous biotype of Nebbiolo known as Picotendro yields wines like no other—aromatic, structured reds that capture the essence of place and vintage. The Ferrando family has turned out compelling wines here since the 1960s, wines that define what Carema is all about. Two recent vertical tastings provided an incredible opportunity to survey Ferrando’s wines all the way back to 1964, prior to the creation of the Carema DOC.

Ploussard was a joy from start to finish, one of my favourite meals in some time. I warmly recommend this refreshingly unpretentious local restaurant for its standard of cuisine and quality of ingredients.

2022 Ramón Bilbao Crianza

2022 Ramón Bilbao Crianza, 90 points

The 2022 Crianza opens with clear vanilla and caramel notes framed by red fruit and pleasant oak spice. The tannic structure is surprisingly serious for an entry-level wine, but it supports the wine nicely. A light balsamic edge lifts the finish. This is an attractive Rioja with a modern edge. (JH)

1985 Philip Togni Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

Like many, I have a penchant for mature Californian wines from the 1970s and early 1980s. The 1985 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon Estate attests to the longevity of this California classic.
