Ferrando Vini Etichetta Bianca (White Label) Carema Nebbiolo 2014 (1500ml)
The Etichetta Bianca comes from 2.5ha of trellised Nebbiolo vines, aged for 30 months in old barrel and a further 6 in bottle before release. This vintage shows an iron-tinged, politely savory andamp; herbaceous side meshed with buoyant, juicy red fruits and a fine thread of acidity. There will be no Etichetta Nera released for the vintage, so all the production went into this wine. As with many of our favorite iterations over the years, the wine is already incredibly charming but is poised to continue to dazzle as it unfolds over the years in the cellar.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Best on Day 1 as it started to lose balance on Day 2. As such, these notes describe Day 1. The 2014 “Etichetta Bianca” pours a pale, slightly hazy garnet color with a translucent core. Medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of bright, funky red fruits: cherries, raspberries, strawberries, with red flowers, leather, mushroom and a pleasant whiff of barnyard. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish long and full of zippy, tangy fruit. This is hitting right and showing remarkable character. Drink now.

Barnyard notes along with some poached tart red fruits and chestnut. Red clay, rock candy, dried savory. Good development.

Still a baby. Still glorious. There is a reason this wine blows me away every single time. Needs pasta.

Called blind Chianti from the leafy balsamic, then went Nebbiolo from the spice and florals. Super elegant.

Dried out and oxidized. Either bad storage or a faulty closure. But some pretty aromatics on day two, under the dead underbrush.

We had this at diner at Union Square Cafe last week. Crushed flowers, mint, dark fruits, leather, tobacco. Medium bodied, elegant, full of fruit and deceivingly accessible. No rush. Recommended.
