Barbaresco Valeriano DOCG 2021 Ada Nada

Barbaresco Valeriano DOCG 2021 from Ada Nada is a red wine from the Valeriano parcel, a Nebbiolo with a firmer, more vertical style. Fermentation and wood ageing are calibrated to accompany the fruit rather than tame it. It is not an immediate wine; it benefits from air and time in the glass, and suits a table without haste. It is ruby red with a slightly garnet rim. The nose is broad and elegant, with floral and fruity notes joined by balsamic and spicy tertiary aromas. The palate is elegant and rightly tannic, with good length. It pairs well with red meats and roast veal.
