About this wine
A barrique-aged blend of Barbera and Nebbiolo dedicated by Gian Carlo Nada to his daughter Annalisa. Grapes are harvested in early October to balance the ripeness of the two varieties, macerated 10-12 days at 28-30°C, and finished with malolactic fermentation in steel before barrique aging — a richer, more structured style than either grape shows on its own at the estate.
A rich, oak-inflected red blend that bridges Barbera's fruit and Nebbiolo's structure.
Sommelier's Note
"A personal, family-dedicated bottling that shows what happens when Barbera's warmth meets Nebbiolo's backbone — greater than the sum of its parts."
Food Pairings
A structured red for braised meats, game, and aged cheeses — its barrique notes also complement dishes with mushroom or truffle.
When to drink it
Autumn and winter dinners featuring game or braised dishes.

バルバレスコ ヴァレイラーノ
Barbaresco Valeirano
RedNebbiolo
Ada Nada's flagship Barbaresco, sourced from the prized Valeirano cru in Treiso — south-facing calcareous marl slopes at 250-350m. Fermented in steel and aged roughly 18 months in a mix of large Slavonian oak botti and barriques, it shows the elegant, perfumed side of Nebbiolo from Treiso rather than the more powerful style of Barbaresco proper.
バルバレスコ ロンボーネ エリーザ
Barbaresco Rombone Elisa
RedNebbiolo
Named for one of the three daughters of Anna Lisa Nada and Elvio Cazzaro, this Barbaresco is drawn from the estate's oldest vines — a plot of Nebbiolo planted in 1947 in the Rombone cru, on south-facing slopes at roughly 300m. Low yields and old-vine concentration give a fuller, more structured wine than the Valeirano bottling. Macerated around 10 days in steel, then aged 18-20 months in 30hl casks; production is limited to about 4,000 bottles a year.
バルバレスコ リゼルヴァ チキン
Barbaresco Riserva Cichin
RedNebbiolo
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.
ランゲ ネッビオーロ セレーナ
Langhe Nebbiolo Serena
RedNebbiolo
Named for another of the family's daughters, this Langhe Nebbiolo offers an earlier-drinking, more affordable introduction to the estate's Nebbiolo style — fresh red fruit and classic rose-petal aromatics with softer tannins than the Barbaresco bottlings.
バルベーラ・ダルバ ピエリン
Barbera d'Alba Pierin
RedBarbera
A blend of fruit from two neighboring vineyards, named after the family associate who supplied much of the old-vine fruit. Grown on southeast-facing slopes of white marl at 200-350m, this Barbera shows the grape's signature juicy acidity balanced by ripe dark fruit.
バルベーラ・ダルバ スペリオーレ サルガ
Barbera d'Alba Superiore Salgà
RedBarbera
A more structured, barrel-aged step up from the estate's everyday Barbera, released under the Superiore designation. Grown on the same white marl soils as Pierin, it undergoes extended aging that adds depth and roundness while keeping Barbera's trademark acidity intact.
