Grand Cru Selections

The Collas' 2018 Bussia bottling is an outright stunner, and a clear testament to the fact that the estate is one of unwavering consistency. The 2018 is laced with dark fruit, smoke, menthol, tobacco, licorice and a host of balsamic-infused nuances that are such a signature. The subtlety of the wine is extraordinary for a young Barolo, offering a dazzling constellation of classic Barolo scents. On the palate, the typically stern tannins of a young Barolo are finely polished and are buoyed by the refreshing acidity from the site's high elevation. What one perceives in the mouth mirrors the nose, with the addition of brown earth, dried cherry, aperol, toasted cedar, almond flower and fresh porcini.  Floral and savory to the bone, this lends itself perfectly to any holiday feast. 

It is only a matter of time before the world comes to fully embrace the magnitude and relevance of the Colla family in the cultural and historical fabric of the Langhe. Though the family’s estate, as it exists today, has only been in operation since the mid-1990s (and continues to fly seemingly under the radar), the Colla name has been deeply connected to the Alba region and its vines for over 300 years. The family’s most revered member, Beppe Colla, rose to prominence as the owner of the now-iconic Prunotto estate, stewarding the cantina from 1956 through until its sale to the Antinori family in the early 1990s, and is lauded as being the first producer to bottle a Barolo that designated the particular cru (Bussia) on the label, effectively bringing global notoriety to his region, and blazing the trail for the site-specific wines that have become the true hallmarks of the Langhe. Today, Poderi Colla is in fact an amalgamation of 3 separate properties, spread across Barolo and Barbaresco, though operating under one Umbrella, with Beppe’s younger brother Tino and Beppe’s daughter Frederica continuing the family’s output of finely tuned and highly traditional wines.

Shipping Policy

Due to the restrictions of many state laws, we only ship wine to those states where direct shipment from a retailer is permitted by law; currently we ship to all states EXCEPT Arkansas, Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Indiana, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Utah.

This list is subject to change without notice. In addition, each state imposes limitations on the amount of wine any particular resident may receive by direct shipment.  To ensure that you are able to order wine for direct shipment from our website, please consult the specific state requirements for your state.

Please note that all orders must be placed by persons who are at least 21 years old, and that age verification will be required upon receipt of your wine.  No wine will be delivered to obviously intoxicated persons and any person unable to provide age verification will forfeit their right to receive the shipment until identification is produced.  In such circumstances, the order may either be held in storage at a local depot of the shipping company until appropriate identification is produced, or shipped back to Biondivino.  All associated costs will be the responsibility of and be charged to the customer.

During periods of extreme weather, we recommend postponing your wine shipment via ground services to ensure the safest conditions of your order. Neither Biondivino nor our freight carriers will accept liability for weather-related damage. During business hours, orders are immediately packaged and scheduled for delivery. Orders may not be cancelled once they have been shipped (in the possession of the shipping carrier). A re-routing may be requested by the customer after shipment, but the customer will be responsible for any associated fees charged by the shipping carrier.

Title to, and ownership of, all wine passes from Biondivino to the purchaser in the State of California and the purchaser takes all responsibility for shipping it from California to his/her home state. By arranging for transportation of the wine, Biondivino is providing a service to, and acting on behalf of the purchaser.  By utilizing this service from Biondivino, purchaser is representing that he/she is acting in compliance with his/her local and state laws regarding the purchase, transportation and delivery of wine.  The purchaser represents that he/she has obtained any required permission, paid any required fees, is working through properly licensed intermediaries where required, is legally entitled to take possession of wine and is legally entitled to take quantities ordered.

Some of our products are sold on a "pre-arrival" or "futures" basis. These products are explicitly indicated as "pre-arrivals" or "futures" on our website and newsletter. Biondivino will notify you by email when your "pre-arrivals" or "futures" have arrived and are ready to be shipped.  You will be given the opportunity to coordinate the proper shipping address and method (we won't automatically ship out pre-arrival wines when they arrive).
