Langhe Rosso "Giulietta" 2023 Olek Bondonio
The Red Langhe "Giulietta" by Olek Bondonio, crafted with passion and expertise at Cascina La Berchialla, is a captivating red wine that celebrates the ancient indigenous grape of the Langhe region, Pelaverga. Distinguished by its strong sense of terroir, it embodies the elegance and sophistication characteristic of the Verduno area in the Barbaresco region.
Pelaverga grapes, cultivated with centuries-old dedication, form the vibrant heart of "Giulietta." Originally a discreet companion among Nebbiolo and Barbera vines, this grape experienced a renaissance in the '70s, emerging as a variety of extraordinary finesse and elegance. Olek Bondonio, the guardian of a small estate in Roncagliette, has breathed life into an artisanal wine that captures the essence of pure Pelaverga.
The pale red cherry color in the glass foreshadows an immersive sensory experience. The aromatic bouquet, enriched with spicy notes, unveils the complexity of floral scents and the lively presence of small red fruits. Vinification occurs exclusively with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, imparting an authentic and genuine character to the wine. The resting period in steel vats contributes to maintaining the freshness and dynamism of the wine.
On the palate, "Giulietta" presents itself with a fresh and smooth sip, with pleasantly integrated tannins providing a subtle and delicate structure to each mouthful. The finish, marked by a pleasant freshness and salinity, invites a return to spicy notes, completing the tasting experience memorably.
Cascina La Berchialla, with its philosophy of chemical-free agricultural management and a minimalistic winemaking approach, creates a wine that authentically speaks the language of the Langhe land. "Giulietta" is an ode to tradition, land, and the passion of a vigneron who, with every sip, invites you to discover the history and beauty of the Langhe through this extraordinary red wine.
