Blue flower, resin, ripe forest berry and dark culinary spice mingle with whiffs of underbrush on the gorgeous 2022 Starderi from Olek Bondonio. Smooth as silk, it’s juicy and delicious, doling out ripe Morello cherry, cinnamon and vanilla before a minty finish. Velvety tannins provide seamless support while fresh acidity keeps it balanced. This is one of the best wines of the vintage. Drink 2027–2034.
Product Description:
The Olek Bondonio Starderi Barbaresco 2022 is a stunning expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barbaresco's renowned crus. This wine was crafted in a natural and traditional approach to viticulture, fermented in concrete tanks and soaked on the skins for 2 months, then aged in large oak vats for 2 years, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Starderi delivers powerful yet elegant aromas of red berries, roses, and hints of earthy undertones. On the palate, it showcases refined tannins, bright acidity, and a lingering mineral finish, reflecting the true essence of Barbaresco.
