2021 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera, Elio Grasso

2021 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera, Elio Grasso

Such a captivating wine from this site sitting at around 400 metres in altitude. The nose opens with crushed violets, earth, summer berries and wild strawberries. There is a sense of vertiticality and lift to the wine with a spin of fine, supple tannins. The finish is beautifully detailed with notes of black tea, liquorice and fresh peach.

Tasting notes

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.
