Cascina Adelaide's Barbera d'Alba (bottled in some vintages under labels such as 'Amabilin' or from the Preda vineyard as a Superiore) shows the estate's precision applied to Piedmont's everyday red grape: dark cherry and plum fruit, soft toasty spice, and bright acidity that keeps it food-friendly.
Proof that a Barolo producer's discipline elevates even its 'everyday' wine well above the everyday.
New to wine?
An easy, fruit-forward red that's a great introduction to Piedmont beyond Barolo.
Food Pairings
Excellent everyday-drinking red with pizza, pasta al ragù, cured salumi, or grilled sausages.
When to drink it
Casual weeknight dinners, pizza nights, everyday pairing with Italian food
Terroir & Winemaking
100% Barbera, some bottlings from the Preda vineyard as a Superiore designation. Fermented and aged with some oak influence (toasty, vanilla-tinged notes noted in reviews), producing a fuller-bodied style than a simple Barbera d'Alba.
