Carema Produttori di Carema 1966
Carema Produttori di Carema fra årgang 1966 er en rødvin fremstillet i den nordvestlige del af Italien. Vinen er skabt af Cantina dei Produttori Nebbiolo di Carema, der blev grundlagt i 1960 af lokale vinavlere i den lille kommune Carema. Området ligger i det nordligste Piemonte, tæt på grænsen til Valle d'Aosta, hvor Alperne rejser sig dramatisk bag vingårdene. Vinen er efterfølgende tappet af GI-PI S.p.A.
Piemonte, som bogstaveligt betyder "ved bjergets fod", er anerkendt for sit enorme fokus på terroir. Carema er en af Italiens mindste appellationer med kun cirka 18 hektar i produktion og bærer klassifikationen Denominazione d'Origine Controllata. Området er kendt for sin heroiske bjergviticultur, hvor vinstokkene vokser på stejle terrasser i 300 til 600 meters højde. Jordbunden består af moræne, og landskabet er præget af det særlige vinstativsystem kaldet pergola caremese eller topie. Her løftes vinstokkene op på stenpiller og granitsøjler, så rankerne breder sig vandret som et grønt tag for at maksimere solindfanget i det kølige alpine klima.
Vinen er lavet på den italienske topdrue Nebbiolo, som lokalt i Carema går under navnene Picotener eller Picotendro. Druen er klassisk for Piemonte og er særligt kendt fra områder som Barolo og Barbaresco. I Caremas alpine terroir får Nebbiolo-druen et helt særligt bjergudtryk, og Produttori di Carema er en af de centrale producenter, der bærer denne specifikke tradition videre.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Piedmont
Piedmont (which literally means "at the foot of the mountain") is located in northwestern Italy, surrounded by the Alps. It is considered one of the world's absolute most prestigious wine regions. The area is known for small, passionate, family-run wineries and a huge focus on terroir (how the soil and microclimate affect the wine).
Classic characteristics of Piedmont:
The royal wines: This is where the world-famous, complex and expensive red wines Barolo and Barbaresco come from (both made from 100% Nebbiolo).
Everyday heroes: In addition to Nebbiolo, the region is famous for the grapes Barbera (juicy, acidic and incredibly popular) and Dolcetto (dark, soft and fruity).
The white and sweet: Piedmont also makes the crisp white wine Gavi and the famous, lightly sparkling dessert bubbles Moscato d'Asti.
The landscape: Dramatic, steep hills – especially in the Langhe sub-area. The hills are often shrouded in thick morning mist in autumn, which protects the grapes and allows for a long, perfect ripening.
Gastronomy: An absolute mecca for food lovers. The area is world famous for the exclusive white truffles from Alba, hazelnuts and rich, simmered dishes that scream with a glass of local red wine.
Toen deze wijn werd gemaakt, zag de wereld er heel anders uit. Hier zijn enkele verhalen die zich ontvouwden toen deze fles rustig in de kelder rijpte.
