Adriano Marco e Vittorio

Nebbiolo

About this wine

Sanadaive is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's second single-vineyard Barbaresco, sourced from the Sanadaive plot in San Rocco Seno d'Elvio. Aged around a year in medium-sized oak casks (35-50 hl), it tends to show a lighter, more perfumed profile than Basarin, with dried rose, spice, and a touch of smoked meat on the nose, framed by firm, refined tannins.

Beginner's Note

A more fragrant, slightly gentler introduction to Adriano's single-vineyard Barbarescos compared to Basarin.

Sommelier's Note

"If Basarin is the powerhouse, Sanadaive is the perfumer — proof that Barbaresco's crus can differ as much in character as they do in name."

Food Pairings

Enjoy with roasted poultry, mushroom-based risottos, and semi-hard cheeses; its perfumed elegance also suits lighter Nebbiolo-friendly dishes.

When to drink it

Autumn dinners built around mushrooms and poultry, or as a lighter alternative to Basarin.
