Adelina Nebbiolo 2016

Region: SA- Adelaide Hills

Aldo Conterno Barolo Colonnello 1997

Region: Italy - Barolo

Almaviva 2016

Region: Chile

"The 2016 harvest was complicated by rain in late April, which made them hurry up and finish two weeks earlier than normal. The year was also cooler, and the 2016 Almaviva, a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Carmenère, 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit...

Azelia Langhe Nebbiolo 2018
