While the white label is Ferrando's calling card, the black label is his reserve wine.andnbsp; Only produced in the best vintages, the wine is sourced from their sites deemed to have the best exposure with the oldest vines. The elevage also lasts for 30 months but is conducted only in older barrique and tonneaux. The black label is typically deeper and richer with more bass tones and is historically more reticent in its youth, with a long arc in the cellar. andnbsp;

The 2015 Carema Etichetta Nera is absolutely stellar. In many vintages, I prefer the Etichetta Bianca, but in 2015, the Etichetta Nera (Black Label) has an extra kick of freshness and body, while the oak is as well-balanced as I have ever seen in this bottling. All of that adds up to a Carema that is positively dazzling from the very first taste. Dark cherry, plum, spice, leather, menthol and licorice develop in the glass, but it is the wine's vertical energy and overall balance that leave the longest impression. This is a positively dazzling wine in every sense. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, April 2020)
