Ferrando
The Ferrando Winery is a historic Piedmontese reality, which for five generations has cultivated vineyards and produced wines in the lands of Canavese. The original core of the company dates back to 1890, when Giuseppe Ferrando began his activity in Ivrea, creating a cellar in the spaces of the former convent of San Bernardino. Initially, the project mainly aimed to market the wines of Canavese in Valle d’Aosta. The real turning point would come in 1957. Fascinated by the territory of Carema, the founder's grandson began the production of this historic mountain Nebbiolo, which over the following decades has become the most important wine of the winery and a true excellence of absolute level in the field of great Piedmontese reds.
The Canavese region is located in the province of Turin and extends between the Po River and the border with Valle d’Aosta. From a geological point of view, its origins date back to the presence of a large alpine glacier, which, progressively retreating, left a territory characterized by a wide area of morainic hills. The soils are composed of gravel, pebbles, and sands, making them very draining and suitable for quality viticulture. In this area, the history of viticulture began with Roman colonization and has continued uninterrupted to the present day.

This small village on the border with Valle d’Aosta is famous for a vineyard landscape of extraordinary charm. The vineyards constitute a true architecture, with stone walls and pillars supporting a wooden pergola on which the long tendrils of the vine extend.
The wine of Carema is the symbol of the company, a pure Nebbiolo, available in two versions: a Carema Etichetta Bianca and a Carema Etichetta Nera, which is produced only in the best vintages and is the result of a rigorous selection of the best grapes of the estate.enological versatility. The variety, in fact, allows the Ferrando Winery to produce a Metodo Classico aged 24 months on the lees, still versions, Erbaluce Vendemmia Tardiva and Erbaluce Passito, two true excellences that express a natural balance between aromatic sweetness and freshness.
