A white wine made from Nascetta (also spelled Nas-cëtta), a rare indigenous grape native to the Novello area within the Barolo zone, once nearly extinct and revived by local producers. Cascina Adelaide's version shows grapefruit blossom, resin and mango peel aromas with honeyed depth, clean acidity and no oak influence, and benefits from a couple of years of bottle age.
One of Piedmont's great rediscovered grapes — this bottling proves Nascetta deserves far more attention.
