There’s a lifted, red-toned perfume to Elio Grasso’s 2020 Barolo Gavarini Vigna Chiniera, with tangy cherry and blood orange layered over dried rose, mint and gentle cedar spice. The palate is sleek and precise rather than massive, showing impressive depth, bright acidity and remarkably refined tannins that give it a long, focused finish. This is a poised, late-picked 2020 that feels both approachable and quietly profound, with its oak already well tucked into the wine’s vibrant Nebbiolo core.

Elio Grasso’s Barolo Gavarini Vigna Chiniera is a single‑vineyard Nebbiolo from the Gavarini amphitheatre in Monforte d’Alba, grown on relatively sandy, limestone‑rich soils at mid‑to‑high elevations and fermented in stainless steel before ageing in large Slavonian oak casks. The wine is typically the more floral, elegant and finely textured of Grasso’s Barolos—perfumed with red cherry, rose and spice notes, marked by bright acidity and fine, grippy tannins, and built for medium‑to‑long ageing.
