Elio Grasso Barolo Gavarini Chiniera 2021
Region: Monforte d’Alba, Barolo DOCG
Variety: Nebbiolo
Country: Italy
Vintage: 2021
The Wine
Gavarini Chiniera sits at about 400 m on sandy, limestone-rich clay—warmed by 2021’s mild summer but cooled overnight by elevation. This vintage underwent 40–day submerged cap maceration and 30 months in Slavonian oak. The result is a powerful yet lithe Barolo: chalky minerality, mint herb, chalky iron tannins, dried flowers and red cherry fruit all layered with energy.
Cellared Says
A focused, crystalline Barolo of stunning texture and lift. Strong tannic presence meets floral nuance and mineral allure—destined to evolve over decades.
Wine Reviews
“Deep, powerful… iron, chalk, dried flowers, mint and red cherry fruit build with a bit of coaxing… a potent, explosive Barolo that hits all the right notes.”
97 Points – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
“Bright rubic and very pretty nose… spicy and focused… bright acidity drives the palate, ripe but coiled tannins, stony texture… offers fantastic energy.”
96+ Points – Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck
