Piedmont: New Releases

2018 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera, Elio Grasso, Piedmont Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%

Wonderfully pure on the nose, with plenty of rosehip character. This is incredibly floral and perfumed. The palate has notes of mint, with plenty of red berry fruit, and then also a hint of fresh pine needle. Blood orange, too, and other citrus. Very elegant, with such suave tannins, and a beautifully fine finish.

Ready: 2024 - 2040

2018 Barolo Ginestra Casa Maté, Elio Grasso, Piedmont Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%

More dark and structured than the Chiniera, with much more present tannins. But on the nose there’s a wildness, an almost Pinot Noir type fruit. This balances elegance and incredible depth: there’s such pure fruit, and such length, and it demonstrates its Ginestra origins - with structure and minerality - with aplomb. This is a remarkable, beguiling wine from Gianluca Grasso.
