This Nebbiolo from Carema shows a light, fragrant nose with notes of sour cherries, cool tobacco, rose petals and a hint of soap. Some sweet lingonberries. Light and nice.
The taste is initially easy going and light with notes of ripening red cherries, dry gravel and dried flowers. The acidity is high and makes the ending a tad dry. Not that harmonious. The nose is better.
Ruby red, medium persistence with garnet highlights. Spicy notes of cinnamon nutmeg and fruit in alcohol. Soft taste, good tannins, acidity complemented by the sweet notes coming from ageing in wood. Intense aftertaste with spicy notes in the finish. AG-91

Garnet with tinges of orange. To the nose, slight notes of fruit in alcohol and dry flowers, extensive notes of sweet spices, cinnamon, liquorish roots and cocoa aroma. Very soft in the mouth, complete and well balanced with sweet tannins.
Carema Riserva 2016 AG 95
The 2012 Barolo Riserva Falletto Vigna Le Rocche (red label) was bottled last September and has already eased into a comfortable and promising stage in its very early evolution. Bruna Giacosa tells me that this wine will be made in 2014 and 2016, so future supplies are plentiful. The jury is out on whether the wine will be produced in 2015, but Bruna tells me it is unlikely (albeit by no means confirmed at this point). Fruit selection was extreme in 2012. This is a warm vintage expression, and the wine is beautifully rich and velvety as a result. That textural richness is what stands out most. The primary fruit is bold and very well defined. There is a point of dark cherry ripeness, but it adds to the generous fiber and softness of the mouthfeel. Of the many beautiful vintages I have tasted of this wine, I suspect the 2012 might be faster in its evolution.

Fine craftsmanship behind this traditional Barbaresco. Gorgeous, ripe fruit and round body lead to a silky midpalate, with rose petal, roasted chestnut, plum, cherry and mineral complexity. Great balance, with firm but ripe tannins clamping down the finish.
Best from 2003 through 2006. 884 cases made.

The 2018 Barolo Sarmassa benefits from the addition of the fruit that would have gone into the Riserva. A Barolo of breadth and power, the Sarmassa possesses terrific depth and plenty of substance. Dark plum, gravel, cured meat, smoke, licorice and incense add to a feeling of somber gravitas. I won’t be surprised if the 2018 turns out to be even better than this note suggests. Hints of dried herb, menthol, licorice, tobacco and incense linger on a finish graced with notable aromatic complexity.

The 2018 Barolo Cannubi is attractive, but also embryonic. Sweet tobacco, cedar, leather, dried herbs and crushed rose petal emerge, but only with some reluctance. Silky Cannubi tannins lend finesse, suggesting what is to come. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2018 is going to need a few years to be fully expressive. The 2018 is suave and very nicely balanced, especially for the year, but it is also the least expressive wine in the range today.

The 2018 Barolo Castellero is laced with dark cherry, plum, spice, menthol, licorice and dried flowers. Powerful and ample, with striking depth, the Castellero is another impressive wine in this range from Brezza. There’s plenty of richness and mid-palate weight to go along with the wine’s brooding personality. Give the tannins a few years to soften.
