About Carema
Carema's vineyard terraces are supported by dry stone walls and are filled with fertile morainal soil brought up from the bottom of the valley. The terraces are lined with pillars in the shape of a truncated cone made of stone and lime . Vine trellises rest on the flat stone “caps” placed on top of the pillars. In the local dialect the name for the vine pergola is “topia” or “tupiun”, while “pilun” is the name for the white pillars supporting it and which inspired the unusual definition of “Bacchus’s Temples”. During the day these masses of rock store the heat of the sun and then release it in the night, thus attenuating the difference in temperature range between day and night.
