Barbera d'Alba
RedBarbera
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.

Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba
RedDolcetto
Made from the Dolcetto grape in the Diano d'Alba appellation (from the Costa Fiore vineyard in some vintages), this wine applies Cascina Adelaide's precision to Piedmont's soft, approachable everyday red. Intense ruby color, cherry, currant and violet aromas, with firm fruit and a touch of menthol on the finish.

Each parcel is vinified and aged separately before the final assemblage, giving a wine that captures the diversity of Barolo terroir in a single bottle.

Barolo Cannubi
RedNebbiolo
A single-cru Barolo from Cannubi, one of the most historic and prestigious vineyards in the Barolo appellation, located within the Barolo commune itself.

バローロ プレダ
Barolo Preda
RedNebbiolo

バローロ バウダーナ
Barolo Baudana
RedNebbiolo
A single-cru Barolo from the Baudana vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, a commune famous for producing some of the most structured and long-lived Barolos.
