Olek Bondonio - Barbera d'Asti, Piedmont, Italy (2021)

Bright, clean and juicy. Lots of fresh summer berry fruit, a touch of sage and thyme. Fun easy drinking, pizza night wine.

This is the second vintage of a Barbera that Olek produced with some of his own grapes, and some grapes of friends with vineyards nearby. It is a low intervention wine, fermented and aged for only a short period in stainless steel. Hallmark Bondonio, but lighter and highly quaffable, and to support this view, Olek chose to bottle this wine in a 1 litre format only.

Olek Bondonio is quite at home on the steep slopes that surround his Barbaresco cantina, having been a champion snowboarder in his youth. It’s an historic family estate of 200+ years close to the Tre Stelle frazione of Barbaresco with an emphasis on Nebbiolo in the cru sites of Straderi, Roncaglie, & Roncaglietta.
