The Cantina dei Produttori Nebbiolo di Carema winery was founded in 1960 by a group of ten growers resident in the district, and has developed into the most qualified center for the production and the sale of Carema, a local DOC wine.
Through a product of excellence, the Cantina dei Produttori Nebbiolo di Carema aims to envisage the preservation and promotion of wine culture, strictly linked to the important wine-growing activities in the distinctive and unique environment where it is located: Carema. This vineyard village rises from a natural amphiteater, dominated by its famous terraces supporting the arbour-trained vines with their characteristic stone and lime pillars, called pilun.
In the early 20th century, wine was an important economic and cultural resource for the people of Carema, a village in the Canavese area of Piedmont. To make the soil on the steep slopes cultivable, the inhabitants developed a system of terracing. They also introduced a vine-training system based on pergolas, known as topia, with a framework of beams held up by truncated-cone stone pillars called pilun. This unique landscape has often been the subject of study. The quality of its wine was already recognized in the 15th century, and won awards in international competitions in the 19th century. The color of Carema Nebbiolo is tinged with orange; the nose is subtle and fresh, with floral and mineral notes, while the palate is elegant, with dense tannins and great aromatic persistence.
