Ada Nada Cichin

Cichin is Ada Nada's Barbaresco Riserva from the historic Rombone cru, made only from slightly overripe, hand-selected grapes and aged over three years before release.

Tasting notes

Very deep carmine red tending towards garnet with age. Austere and complex bouquet with notes of rose, spice, humus and medicinal herbs. Solid and well-structured on the palate, with silky, elegant tannins and a satisfying, lingering finish of great personality.
