2020 Olek Bondonio Langhe Nebbiolo
Olek Bondonio - ex-professional snowboarder turned winemaker makes an old fashioned kind of wine. While this sounds like a strange career move His vineyard has been in his family for more than 200 years, so winemaking is truely in his blood. All his wines come with this generational knowledge and experience part and parcel. So while most of his contemporaries around the town of Barbaresco continue to focus on the more commercially successful grapes of the region, Olek often goes his own way like a good snowboarder should!
This is an incredible Nebbiolo, with subtle power, velvety tannins, and beautiful scents of violets and roses, with a beautiful fruit. The 2020 Olek Bondonio Langhe Nebbiolo comes from mostly from young vines in Starderi (one of the more famous Barbaresco crus.)With over a month of maceration on skins, part in cement and part in stainless steel, before going for a short rest in large barrels.

FAQ
What is natural wine?
The philosophy of natural wine is one of minimal-intervention, from vineyard to cellar. Natural wines are made using quality grapes, generally grown using organic and biodynamic practices, however vineyards may not always be certified as such due to the restrictive nature of these certification systems. Natural wines in most cases won't be filtered or fined, processes which generally involve the use of animal products.
Are your wines vegan friendly?
In almost all cases yes! Generally if you see "unfiltered and unfined" this will be an assurance that no animal products have been used in the process. The fining process is where conventional winemakers will often use egg and fish products (yep pretty gross) to remove sediment from wines. The sediment is natural, healthy and adds flavour so natural wine makers almost always leave some of it in.
Are your wines chemical free?
Yes, we only stock wines that use grapes grown using biodynamic or organic farming methods and will have none of the over 200 additives that can be found in conventional wines, *with the occasional exception of a tiny amount of sulphur. Some organic winemakers choose to add a small amount of sulphur (SO2) to ensure their wines travel better and last longer.
