Barolo Gavarini Chiniera 2021

The Barolo DOCG "Gavarini Chiniera" by Elio Grasso stands as an icon of finesse, transparency, and varietal precision in Monforte d'Alba. First crafted in the landmark 1978 vintage, this historical single-vineyard Barolo originates from the Gavarini plot (Chiniera sub-designation), perched at 320–360 meters above sea level with full Southern exposure. The calcareous-sandy soil endows the wine with weightless aromatics, a vibrant mineral core, and silky, sculpted tannins.

Sourced from old vines averaging 50 years of age trained via Guyot system (4,500 vines per hectare), "Gavarini Chiniera" benefits from meticulous manual harvesting and classical winemaking. Aged in large oak casks, this bottling showcases classic notes of crushed violets, bright red berries, and vibrant acidity, building a seamless profile built for decades of cellaring.
