About this wine
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.
A rare, distinctive white from Barolo country — worth seeking out if you only know the region's reds.
Sommelier's Note
"One of Piedmont's great rediscovered grapes — this bottling proves Nascetta deserves far more attention."
Food Pairings
Pairs well with seafood risotto, fresh goat cheese, or grilled white fish with herbs.
When to drink it

バルベーラ・ダルバ
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.
ドルチェット・ディ・ディアーノ・ダルバ
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.
バローロ クワトロ・ヴィーニェ
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.
