The bottle is the pure and clear expression of the Roncagliette cru, located in the southern area of the Barbaresco municipality, distinguished by notable elegance and expressive finesse.
The Barbaresco Roncagliette wine is born within a small reality of the famous Langhe denomination. Cascina La Berchialla is an ancient estate that has been dedicated to viticulture in these lands since the 1800s. Today it is managed by Olek Bondonio, who, after completing his studies and enriching his training with some experiences abroad, began producing wine from the few hectares of the family estate. The vineyards are divided into different parcels located in particularly suited areas and are managed with great care, with the sole aim of bringing grapes of excellent quality to maturity. The Nebbiolo vines of the Roncagliette cru are hand-harvested, and the best bunches are fermented spontaneously, with only indigenous yeasts, and a long maceration on the skins. The wine matures for 20 months in oak barrels and finishes the aging period in the bottle.
The red Barbaresco Roncagliette from Cascina La Berchialla, made by Olek Bondonio, is the classic wine with an authentic character that expresses the terroir directly, without enological mediations. Visually, it presents a beautiful bright ruby red with slight garnet reflections. The olfactory profile is very fine, with scents of violet, dried flowers, aromas of raspberry, red currant, marasca, hints of medicinal herbs, spicy and toasted nuances, derived from the long aging in wood. Of medium structure, it is characterized by delicate, elegant, and persistent aromas, wrapped in a mature and evolved tannic texture. The finish is harmonious, long, and pleasantly fresh.
