Tasting Notes: On the nose the Monte Maletto Carema Sole e Roccia shows bright black fruit with floral aromas of violets. A distinct aroma of rocks and stones. On the palate the wine is silky and lighter, but still with plenty of integrated tannin. This mid-weight, lithe Carema has terrific energy, with tension that will help it age but an expressiveness that is hard not to love right now.
Estate History: Monte Maletto winemaker Giano Marco Viano worked as a sommelier in Glasgow and London before coming home to Carema. With only 16 hectares under vine, the Carema DOCG, located an hour north of Turin on the Piedmont border with the Valle d’Aosta, is one of Italy’s smallest. There are only a handful of producers, working steeply terraced vineyards that surround the town of Carema, population 800. This appellation produces Nebbiolo-based reds and unique white wines from the local Erbaluce grape.
