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.

Barolo 4 Vigne
RedNebbiolo
Cascina Adelaide's flagship Barolo, blending Nebbiolo from four of the estate's most prized crus — Preda (Barolo commune), Bussia (Monforte d'Alba), Fossati (La Morra) and Pernanno (Castiglione Falletto). 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.
バローロ カンヌビ
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. Cascina Adelaide's interpretation shows a bolder, more powerful style than the classically elegant reputation of the cru, with notes of wild berry, spice and mineral tones.
バローロ プレダ
Barolo Preda
RedNebbiolo
A single-cru Barolo from the small Preda vineyard in the Barolo commune — historically one of the estate's founding plots, farmed organically. It typically shows brighter red fruit and a more piquant spice character than Cascina Adelaide's other crus, with fine mineral and violet notes.
バローロ フォッサーティ
Barolo Fossati
RedNebbiolo
A single-cru Barolo from the Fossati vineyard in La Morra, one of the commune's cooler, more elegant growing sites. This wine typically shows a graceful, floral profile with red cherry and pomegranate, layered with earthy, mushroom-like complexity as it ages.
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. Cascina Adelaide's Baudana shows deep garnet color, layers of ripe cherry, dried rose, tar and spice, with firm, well-integrated tannins built for the cellar.
