Region of Italy: Barbaresco

Producer: Olek Bondonio

Vintage: 2022

Vitigno: Barbera

Younger vine Barbera from d’Asti that is showing immense amounts of blue fruits and drinkability + value for $$ being in a 1ltr format. We can’t get enough of this wine - it’s expressive, splash-able, and just what your next dinner gathering needs.

It was only 17 years ago when Olek Bondonio started making his own wine. He relocated to his parent’s summer home in Barbaresco, “La Berchialla”, a property that had been in the family for over 200 years. Since the estate's first vintage in 2005, he has remained committed to working with the least amount of chemical input in both the vineyard and in the cellar. This groundwork makes for healthy fruit that allows him to adopt a hands-off approach after harvest - he works strictly with indigenous yeasts and minimal additions of sulphur. He cultivates barbera, dolcetto and nebbiolo.
