Cascina Adelaide Barolo Bussia 2018 DOCG

Cascina Adelaide began in 1817 as a group of vine growers owning vineyards in two of the most prestigious crus, Cannubi and Preda. The estate was bought over 20 yrs ago by Amabile Drocco who immediately updated the estate by building a modern underground cellar, introducing a new barrel system and more than doubling the size of the vineyards. Drocco’s father was a vine grower in a small village not far from Barolo. This wine is characterized by a tight and silky texture, with delicate wild cherry and blueberry accents. There are pretty hints of savory spice and campfire ash that last many long moments. Aging; For 24 months in large French oak barrels and then the wine is fined in bottle for at least 12 months. In January 2017, Cascina Adelaide had the great luck to buy one of the best parcels of the Bussia vineyard in Monforte, the Dardi-Mondoca. 750 ml 100% Nebbiolo 94pts WS, 93pts RP
