About The Wine
This wine is a very special Nebbiolo, crafted from Olek’s two iconic vineyards — Starderi and Roncagliette — along with fruit from an exciting new Barolo site. Born from a challenging and rainy vintage, it was created when Olek drew off some juice after three days of maceration (Saignée method) to give his Barbaresco and Barolo greater concentration.
The result is a delicious wine that carries the vibrant fruit of a rosé, yet the depth, elegance and finesse of his fine reds. Highly drinkable - you might need two.
About Olek Bondonio
Olek Bondonio has quickly established himself as one of Barbaresco's most exciting producers. Raised at La Berchialla, his family's centuries-old farmhouse surrounded by some of the region's most celebrated vineyards, Olek took an unconventional path to winemaking, first making his name as a professional snowboarder before returning to his roots in the Langhe.
Today, he tends nearly seven hectares across Barbaresco's prized Roncagliette and Starderi crus, along with parcels in Neive, Altavilla, and the hills above Alba. His approach is refreshingly straightforward: organic farming with meticulous attention in the vineyards, paired with patient, unfussy work in the cellar. The wines that emerge are pure, profound expressions of Piedmont, decidedly classical in spirit, yet unmistakably alive.
