Carema DOC is a red wine known for its ruby red color that turns garnet with age. It has a delicate, slightly ethereal aroma with hints of red fruits and spices. On the palate, the wine is dry, full-bodied, and slightly tannic. The acidity is balanced, and the finish is persistent and harmonious.

History

The history of Carema DOC begins in the Alpine region of Piedmont. The wine is named after the town of Carema, which has a centuries-old tradition of viticulture. The vineyards are planted on terraces supported by stone walls, a practice that dates back to Roman times. The wine gained DOC status in 1967, a testament to its quality and the dedication of the local winemakers.

Geographical Production Area

Carema DOC is produced in the region of Piedmont, in the far north-west of Italy. The vineyards are located on steep terraces in the valley of the Dora Baltea river, at the foot of the Alps. The unique climate of the region, with its cold winters and warm, sunny summers, together with the poor, rocky soil, provide the ideal conditions for the Nebbiolo grape, from which Carema DOC is made.
