Carema Luigi Ferrando e Figlio 1976
Denne rødvin fra 1976 er produceret af Luigi Ferrando e Figlio i det nordvestlige Italien. Vinen er en Carema Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC), som er fremstillet og efterfølgende lagret i producentens vinkælder i selve Carema.
Vinen stammer fra Piemonte, der bogstaveligt talt betyder "ved bjergets fod". Regionen er omkranset af Alperne og betragtes som et af verdens mest prestigefyldte vinområder. Piemonte er kendt for sine små, familiedrevne vingårde og et stort fokus på terroir, hvor det dramatiske landskab og det lokale mikroklima spiller en afgørende rolle for vindyrkningen.
Carema er et lille DOC-område i den nordligste del af Piemonte ved grænsen til Valle d'Aosta. Det regnes for en af Italiens mindste appellationer med kun cirka 18 hektar i produktion. Området er kendt for sin heroiske bjergviticultur, hvor vinstokkene vokser i 300 til 600 meters højde på stejle terrasser med morænejord. Her anvendes traditionelle pergolaer, lokalt kaldet topie, der understøttes af granitsøjler. Vinen er lavet på den italienske topdrue Nebbiolo, som lokalt i Carema også kaldes Picotener eller Picotendro. Druen er særligt udbredt i Piemonte og trives i det kølige alpine klima, der præger netop denne del af regionen.
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.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded as this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
