A unique expression of Nebbiolo, from Paolo Veglio (who just so happens to be Olek Bondonio’s neighbour!), all organically-farmed. A fresh and approachable riff on this complex grape, this leads with plush fruit, followed by the mid-palate grip that we know and love.

Cascina Roccalini Barbaresco 2017

An ex-champion snowboarder of Polish heritage, Olek Bondonio is somewhat of a wildcard entry to the viticultural scene of Italy's famed Piedmont region. Bondonio began his foray into wine when he started tending to the vines on his family's property, studying the intricacies of each site before undertaking his first vintage in 2005. A staunch believer of minimal chemical input in both the vineyard and winery, Bondonio has quickly established a reputation as a producers to keep an eye out for, and it's not difficult to see why. The 2018 Barbaresco Starderi is a beautiful Nebbiolo from 40-year-old vines in the Starderi township, well-known for its powerful and structural expressions of the grape. Expressive and compelling.

Bondonio began his foray into wine when he started tending to the vines on his family's property, studying the intricacies of each site before undertaking his first vintage in 2005. A staunch believer of minimal chemical input in both the vineyard and winery, Bondonio has quickly established a reputation as a producer to keep an eye out for, and it's not difficult to see why. The 2018 Roncagliette Barbaresco is a perfumed and energetic wine, with rustic edges that speak to Bondonio's unbridled winemaking style. Coming from a plot grown in Olek's front yard, which was planted by his family 50 years ago, the fruit is hand-harvested, spontaneously fermented and macerated on the skins for two months in concrete before being pressed off to old botti to mature for a couple of years. It's concentrated, powerful, and extraordinarily complex, with notes of fleshy cherries, mint, tilled earth, new leather, and dried spice. The tannins are firm and assertive, though still very approachable in their youth.

This is one of only two cuvées produced by cult producer Serafino Rivella, a husband and wife winemaking duo based in Montestefano. This Barbaresco is alive with crunchy red fruits, along with textbook Nebbiolo florals and dried tobacco.
