Carema, “Etichetta Nera”

This exceptional and rare wine is produced only in the finest vintages.  It comes from a special selection of grapes harvested from several particularly well-placed parcels within the appellation (frequently from the Silanc and Siei vineyard sites).  Aged for at least three years prior to bottling, the “élevage” is done primarily in small barrels, only a small percentage of which are new.  One hundred of the three hundred cases produced are dedicated to the US market, augmented by a small amount of magnums.
