Ada Nada Langhe Nebbiolo Serena 2024

Founded in 1919 by Carlo Nada, this certified-organic estate sits in the Rombone area of Treiso, one of the villages entitled to make Barbaresco. Anna Lisa Nada, the fourth generation, runs it today with her husband, Elvio Cazzaro. This Langhe Nebbiolo shares its name with one of their three daughters.

The 100% Nebbiolo comes from young vines on southwest-facing slopes of white limestone marl, between 200 and 350 meters up. After about a week of fermentation in stainless steel, the wine spends roughly three months in barriques and is bottled unfined and unfiltered. Though it’s the estate’s most approachable red, it is far from timid, with the firm backbone of tannin you’d expect from this traditional house.

Try it with roast duck, mushroom dishes or medium-aged cheeses.
