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, 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)
