TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

The 2021 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is a deep, powerful wine. In most vintages, the Gavarini Chiniera is a bit more linear, but the 2021 has an extra kick of textural depth that is such a hallmark of the year. Iron, chalk, dried flowers, mint and red cherry fruit build with a bit of coaxing. Readers will find a potent, explosive Barolo that hits all the right notes. 97PTS Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com

The Elio Grasso 2021 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is a beautifully elegant expression marked by chalky tannins, crushed flowers, balsamic herb and profound fruit depth that stretches effortlessly across a very long finish. The wine shows impressive dimensionality and finesse, with tannins that feel refined and perfectly placed, giving the palate a sense of quiet authority. Fermented with an extended 50-day submerged-cap maceration and aged for three years in large Slavonian oak, this wine reflects a late-harvest vintage shaped by cold winter conditions, strong diurnal shifts and calcareous, sandy soils at 360–380 meters, resulting in exceptional length and balance. 96+PTS Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

Elio Grasso

Elio Grasso established his winery in the township of Monforte d’Alba in 1978. A self-confessed ‘disciple’ of Aldo Conterno, the Conterno sons helped Elio initially with advice and winemaking assistance. While a relative newcomer to the industry (while his father owned land in the region, Elio himself had left for Turin to become a banker), the quality of his wines was high enough to take advantage of the boom in interest in the region from American importers. This in turn allowed them to invest in the winery and focus on the vineyards, ensuring the highest quality of fruit possible. With his son Gianluca, Elio has made a point of staying away from the battle between traditionalists and modernists when it came to the style of wine being made, and while investing in new technology he also maintained a relatively traditional approach to his winemaking. Grasso vinifies and bottles his Barolo crus separately in order to showcase terroir in a Burgundian fashion.
