Barolo with beauty and backbone. Elio Grasso’s Gavarini Chiniera is 100% Nebbiolo from a south-facing vineyard in Monforte d’Alba, where roughly 50-year-old vines grow on sandy, limestone-based soils 350 to 400 meters above sea level. The 2022 is beautifully expressive, layering red cherry, raspberry and blood orange with rose petals, anise and spice, all carried by fine tannins and lively acidity. Elegant, energetic and built to evolve, this is a special bottle for anyone looking to experience what great Barolo is all about.
