Ada Nada Dilva

Dilva is Ada Nada's dosaggio zero Metodo Classico, made entirely from Nebbiolo and aged over 18 months on the lees.

Tasting notes

Rose petal colour with a fine, plentiful perlage. Fine and clear on the nose, with raspberry, forest fruit and rose notes closing on toasted tones. A crisp sparkle gives way to good mineral balance, with a deep, persistent, savoury finish.
