Why We're Buying

Elio Grasso Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is a force to be reckoned with. It balances a rich body with uplifting floral notes, a juicy core, and a focused finish. Wine critic Antonio Galloni praised the 2016 vintage as "a striking wine" with considerable aging potential.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2013 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera stands apart in this tasting of Elio Grasso's new releases. The fruit portrayed shows a very crisp and focused quality. It absolutely pops from the glass with brilliant sharpness. Gianluca Grasso tells me lab reports confirm the higher acidic tenor of the wine, although this is not necessarily perceived acidity that you taste. Aromas of wild berry, balsam herb, licorice and smoke emerge delicately from the bouquet. The wine's mouthfeel evokes a profound sense of elegance thanks to those noble tannins and its silky texture.
