Ada Nada

The Ada Nada winery is located in the heart of the Langhe, in Treiso. Founded in 1919 by Carlo Nada in Rombone, in the commune of Barbaresco, the company has gone through several generations, each of which has contributed to enriching and growing this fine family business. With the third generation, led by the oenologist Gian Carlo Nada and his wife Ada, the company went through an important phase of expansion and modernisation, consolidating its name on the Italian and international wine scene. Today, after Gian Carlo's untimely death in 2012, Elvio, together with his wife Anna Lisa and supported by oenologist Ivon Picollo, continues to carry on the Nada family's mission, producing wines that reflect the beauty and complexity of the Langhe territory. The estate covers 9 hectares of vineyards, situated at an altitude of 300 metres, with south-west exposure. We are located in the prestigious Valeirano and Rombone sub-zones, iconic areas for Barbaresco production. Most of the vineyards have an average age of about 40 years. International grape varieties such as Sauvignon and Merlot have only recently been introduced, enriching the winery's offerings without affecting the typically Piedmontese identity. The traditional grape varieties cultivated here include Nebbiolo, the undisputed protagonist of the Barbaresco appellation, as well as Barbera. Harvesting is carried out strictly by hand. Each vineyard is carefully monitored to pick only the best bunches, selected according to specific parameters that guarantee maximum expression of the terroir. In the cellar, Ada Nada's approach is centred on respect for the grapes and appreciation of the work done in the vineyard. The cellar, housed in an 18th century farmhouse, is equipped with 3000-litre oak barrels for ageing Barbaresco and barriques for wines such as Barbera Superiore and Langhe Rosso. Total production is around 50,000 bottles, half of which is reserved for Barbaresco, the winery's flagship wine.
