Carema “L’Arsin” 2021 Cantina Togliana
“L’Arsin” is the lively and expressive face of Carema according to Cantina Togliana. It is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown on the breathtaking, steep terraces of Carema – a tiny Alpine village in Northern Piedmont known for its heroic viticulture.
Unlike the more structured Riserva, “L’Arsin” is crafted for immediate enjoyment, highlighting fruit purity and mountain freshness. The grapes are hand-harvested between 350 and 600 meters above sea level, fermented spontaneously, and aged for around 18 months in large oak casks and neutral tonneaux to maintain varietal integrity.
In the glass, it shines with a bright, transparent ruby hue. The nose offers floral and fruity elegance: raspberry, red currant, sour cherry, rose petals, violets, orange zest, and subtle Alpine spices. On the palate, it’s linear and graceful, with refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and a salty-mineral finish. A beautifully drinkable mountain Nebbiolo with depth and soul.
Food pairings: aged salami, pasta with game ragu, roasted poultry, alpine cheeses.
