Elio Grasso Barolo "Gavarini Chiniera" '19

From a single, high-altitude cru in Monforte d’Alba, the 2019 Elio Grasso Barolo “Gavarini Chiniera” is a benchmark expression of Nebbiolo purity and precision. Grown at 1,200 feet on sandy limestone soils, the fruit sees a long, gentle maceration and traditional aging in large Slavonian oak, yielding a wine of remarkable finesse and structure. The cool, balanced 2019 vintage highlights the site’s hallmark aromas of red cherry, rose petal, and anise, layered with fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Built to age for decades, yet already showing captivating depth, this is a classic, terroir-driven Barolo from one of the region’s most respected family estates.
