The 2008 Ghemme Collis Carellae is a real stunner. Rose petal mint violets sweet red cherries and licorice are some of the many notes that blossom in a firm classically built wine that will make lovers of traditionally made Nebbiolos weak at the knees. Vibrant translucent and deeply expressive the 2008 is simply magnificent from the very first taste. I imagine the 2008 will reward readers with another 15-20 years of exceptional drinking. What a pleasure it is to taste the 2008 today. - By Antonio Galloni on July 2015 Cantalupo is a great source for traditionally made wines that capture the potential and pedigree of Nebbiolo in Ghemme and the surrounding appellations. At their best these wines deliver notable quality for what remain very reasonable prices. The top selections are released later than most which also gives readers the chance to drink wines with a good deal of nuance.
