Intensity is the calling card of the 2021 Elio Grasso Barolo Gavarini Vigna Chiniera, which layers red cherry and blackcurrant fruit with rose, spice and a cool, woodland nuance over a firm core of limestone-driven grip. The palate is deep and compact yet vividly fresh, with fine, grainy tannins and a long, savory finish that hints at truffle and mineral. This is a powerful, tightly coiled Gavarini that clearly reflects the concentrated nature of the vintage and will reward patience.

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.
