2009 Barolo Gavarini Vigna Chiniera, Elio Grasso, Piedmont
If you are a fan of Burgundy and want to buy a wine from the Elio Grasso stable, then this is the one to go for. 35 year old vines planted on a mixture of limestone, sand and chalk. Compelling, with notes of fresh raspberry, this shows great balance and beautifully integrated tannins. A stylish Chiniera to drink relatively early.
