93 AG. "The 2006 Carema Etichetta Bianca is simply beautiful. Bright red cherries, flowers, sweet mountain herbs are just some of the nuances that emerge from this high-toned, intensely perfumed Nebbiolo. As is typical of the wines of this cool-climate appellation, the Etichetta Bianca is a decidedly focused, wiry Nebbiolo that screams for food. It is a fabulous effort from Ferrando, but ideally the wine is best left alone for another few years. Increasingly I find myself gravitating more towards the Etichetta Bianca over the more overt, supposedly higher-end Etichetta Nera." Vinous, Dec 2010 |
