2017 Barolo Gavarini Vigna Chiniera, Elio Grasso, Piedmont
The 2017 Barolo Chiniera is a real beauty in the making, but it will need plenty of time to allow it to blossom fully. Notes of orange peel and morello cherries disavow any fears of a jammy vintage. The tannins are fine, and the finish is long and ethereal. Stunning.
