Ada Nada's top wine, a Barbaresco Riserva from the Cichin cru within Rombone — 55-year-old, south-facing vines harvested only when fully ripe. Aged for an extended 36-50 months in large oak botte, it is deep garnet with age, showing rose, spice, truffle, and leather over a core of ripe cherry and plum, framed by silky but firm tannins.
With up to 50 months in large oak, Cichin is Ada Nada's most patient and rewarding wine — a Riserva that demands time but repays it in full.
New to wine?
An intense, age-worthy Riserva best suited to those already familiar with Nebbiolo's tannic backbone.
Food Pairings
A wine for slow-cooked, structured dishes — braised short rib, brasato al Barolo-style beef, or aged Grana Padano. Best served with a decant of at least an hour.
When to drink it
Milestone celebrations, collectors' cellars, and pairing with slow-braised meats.
