SorPasso Carema 2020

SorPasso Carema 2018. Steadily increasing their holdings to the 1 hectare it is today, SorPasso’s wines are made with the intent of retaining traditional methods and the profile of the region’s classically “mountain” wines. Grown between 300 and 800 metres in altitude on the precipitous terraces which have become famous in the Alpine foothills, the local strain of Nebbiolo - known locally as Picotendro - yields wines with bright, lifted aromatics and glorious cherry flavours. The 2018 vintage is a generous, soft and engaging one, a perfect introduction to the wines of the region and to this quintessential Carema producer. Warmer than most years, it ran the risk of yielding too much alcohol in the Langhe but high up on the terraces of Carema, the results are truly beautiful. 750ml
