MURAJE

In local dialect, muraje refers to the imposing rock walls that retain vine-laden terraces lining the steep slopes of the extraordinary amphitheater of Carema in Alto Piemonte. For centuries, this heroic viticultural technique has rendered possible the production of quite arguably the most enthralling expression of Nebbiolo in existence. The Nebbiolo planted in Carema is of the rare Picotener or Picotendro clone, which has gracefully adapted to the zone’s severe rainfall and high pH soils. Enamored of this environment, Federico and Deborah Santini launched the Muraje label in 2016, having since restored 1.3 hectares of old-vine parcels boasting local grape varieties like Neyret, Ner d’Ala, Pugnet, and Vernasssa. Federico and Deborah vinify trace quantities of their ethereal wines in a tiny garage tucked among the winding streets of historic Carema.
