Tasting Notes

Vigna Chiniera is a recognised historical sub-zone within Ginestra facing south at 350-400m. The soil is moderately loose-packed sandy, limestone-based, and produces the most elegant of the three wines. Harvested mid-October. Very long maceration time and aging in 25-hectoliter barrels for around 24 months.

The 2020 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is a heady, almost exotic wine. Harvest took place on October 17, very late for the year. Hard candy, kirsch, menthol, dried rose petal, mint and blood orange infuse the 2020 with striking depth. The tannins, often incisive here, are remarkably polished. A wine of beautiful nuance and persistence, the 2020 Gavarini is not the most obvious wine in this range, but it could very well be the classiest. Don't miss it! 97 points. - Antonio Galloni

The Grasso family is highly respected by other Barolo producers and has lived in the Langhe for centuries , but only started bottling their own wines in the late 70's , converting themselves from a Growers family to a wine producers . Great efforts were made in modernising and replanting Vineyards with the simple Goal to produce the best Barolo possible from their Land .A jewel of an estate , with Gavarini Chiniera and Ginestra Casa mate vineyard sites in their holdings in Monforte .These wines sit at the very top of the Pyramid and Elio and his son Gianluca, continue to release beautifully perfumed and structured Barolo, both in a traditional style and Runcot as the more modern wine . Great expressions of Monforte terroir; these examples of Barolo are as honest as you can find. - Importer Note
