Tasting Notes
The 2016 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is a vibrant, massively tannic, austere wine, the likes of which I have never tasted here before. Vertical and explosive in the glass with tons of pure power, the 2016 Gavarini Chiniera is a gorgeous Barolo that is going to need a number of years to be at its best. Swaths of tannin wrap around a core of sweet red cherry fruit. White pepper, mint, orange peel and floral notes develop a bit later, but the 2016 remains reticent and inward, with brilliant acids and tannins that dominate today. The 2016 is a striking wine, but it is going to require considerable patience. 96+ - Antonio Galloni /Vinous
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
