"It’s the perfume, again, and that luminosity and transparency that drives so many wines from 2016. Black jelly bean, dried roses, aromatic herbs, sweet cherry and raspberry. So deft, with superb graphite tannin, chilled cranberry acid crunch, mouth-perfume and a long fruit sweet finish. It’s lighter and silkier than the Roncagliette, not as deep and profound, but what a charmer it is!" - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front 95pts

After a successful career snowboarding for Italy, Olek Bondonio turned his sites to his family's vineyard holdings in Barbaresco, which had been in the family for 200 years. He first gained some experience working in Langhe and abroad to hone his new passion. He also logged many man-hours working in the family's vineyards by hand to get to know each site and its unique traits. Before long, he felt ready to begin producing his wines under the Olek Bondonio label. He now manages 7 hectares of vine, mainly in the Roncagliette and Starderi Crus; all his vineyards are managed organically in a relatively 'old-school' approach. Olek is now known as one of the best Barbaresco producers, and his wines are highly sought after and sell out upon release.
