Nestled in the prestigious municipality of Diano D’Alba, these grapes flourish in perfect conditions that embody the art of fine winemaking, resulting in an elegant, complex, and beautifully structured wine.

Tasting Notes

This wine shows an intense ruby-red colour and reveals a complex, expansive nose layered with cherry, currant, violet, and iris. On the palate, it is firm and flavourful, with subtle hints of menthol. Smooth, well-integrated tannins provide a savoury character, complemented by an unexpected touch of minerality that adds depth and sophistication to the finish.

Production

The wine matures gracefully in stainless steel for approximately six months, preserving its vibrant freshness and pure varietal character. This careful approach ensures a clean, elegant expression of the grape, highlighting its natural aromas and crisp structure.

Producer

Cascina Adelaide in the heart of Barolo is the lifelong dream of Amabile Droco – a dream born not only of a passion for the region’s wines, but also the diversity of the terroir to be found within the Barolo DOCG.

Having purchased an old farmhouse and accompanying vineyards in 1999, Amabile made considerable investments in a state-of-the-art gravity-fed winery and a top winemaking team that would set Cascina Adelaide apart from the rest. Yet it was his continuing ambition to own land in each of Barolo’s crus that made Cascina Adelaide a producer of note. As Amabile himself explains: “It’s the land that provides the difference, the wine provides the medium”. In keeping with this philosophy, no herbicides are used in the vineyards, and all of the harvesting and sorting is done by hand. Likewise, native yeasts and minimal sulphur are used during vinification, allowing the resulting wines to speak for themselves: deliciously complex Barolos that display an exacting attention to detail.
