Carema
Wine · PDO · 1 municipality
Recognized since 1973, Carema is a Piedmont wine denomination with a production zone restricted to just a single municipality: Carema itself. Unlike neighboring appellations, Carema's geographic reach for processing is surprisingly flexible; the official rules permit bottling to occur not only in the province of Torino but also across the regional border in Valle d'Aosta. This Nebbiolo-based wine, containing at least 85% Nebbiolo, must undergo a minimum aging period of 24 months, including at least 12 months in wood. Cultivated with a maximum yield of 8.0 t/ha, the resulting wine displays a fine aroma reminiscent of macerated rose.
