Community Tasting Note

• Jon Harrison Likes this wine: 93 points

  December 12, 2021 - (Imported by Neil Rosenthal, NY)
  Once, a long time ago, in the early 90s, I used to purchase Ferrando Carema black label (etichetta nera) for a restaurant wine list that I ran in San Francisco (WS best of award). Those were the days. I never had the opportunity to try the white. Wow.
  ___________
  
  Color: Medium straw. More color than most young white wines.
  
  Nose: Medium intense. Not grassy. No oak. Yet wonderful. Intriguing. Mirabelle, straw, almond flower.
  
  Pal: Comes on here! Mouth filling! Wonderful concentration and intensity of flavor. Wonderful richness. Excellent minerality. Dry finish.
  
  One of the best indigenous Italian white wines I've ever had the pleasure to drink.
  
  92: solid. Maybe up to 94.
