Luigi Baudana Barolo 'Baudana' 2021

Luigi Baudana Barolo ‘Baudana’ 2021

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Nebbiolo, Barolo, Serralunga, Baudana = Enough Said! The 2021 Barolo Baudana is another super-sensual wine from the estate.

Giuseppe Quintarelli 'Ca del Merlo' 2016
The Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ca’ del Merlot is distinctly savory in the glass, with a thrust of wild herbs that evolves into fresh picked strawberries and wet stone.
