Ripe red berry, truffle, ground clove, violet and camphor aromas take center stage on the fantastic Olek Bondonio Roncaglette. The smooth, utterly delicious palate doles out ripe Marasca cherry, pomegranate, licorice and vanilla before an orange zest close. Velvety tannins offer polished support. Drink 2027–2034.
Product Description:
This vineyard abuts Gaja's famed Sori Tildin site; Organic, some biodynamic practices. 100% Nebbiolo from Roncagliette: 50 year-old vines, planted on very heavy clay on top of blue marl, 350m elevation. Fermented in concrete with two months on the skins (submerged cap), then pressed off and moved to large botti for longer élevage (usually two years). Unfined, unfiltered, with moderate amounts of SO2 (10-20ppm max) added just before bottling. This is the powerhouse wine of the domaine, with a palate saturated in black fruit and a highly mineral core, but it never loses its sense of freshness or drinkability.
