Ada Nada Valeirano

Valeirano is Ada Nada's flagship Barbaresco, from one of the two historic crus, Valeirano and Rombone, that the estate has cultivated for four generations.

Tasting notes

Deep carmine red with nuances tending towards garnet with age. Full and mellow bouquet with floral and fruit notes integrating well with balsamic oak aromas. Fresh with a savoury bite and elegant, understated tannins on the palate, with a refined, lingering finish.
