Barolo Gavarini Chiniera 2016 - Elio Grasso

Tasting notes

"The Elio Grasso 2016 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is immediately expressive and bright. The wine is savory and rich with a generous bouquet of dried berries, spice, crushed flowers and even a hint of market-fresh blueberry that we don't see in the other wines. The bouquet moves toward balsam notes with mint and rosemary the longer it stays in the glass. I also get anise flower and fresh licorice root as a pretty signature on the close. With aging in large Slavonian oak casks, the tannic integration is spot-on and so is the freshness and purity of those beautiful Nebbiolo nuances.  (...) "

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Elio Grasso is a self-declared disciple of Aldo Conterno. He was always an admirer of the Conterno estate.

The sandy soils of Gavarini make a different style of Barolo than the clay based soils of Ginestra. Matured in large Slovenian botte, the colour is deep and the nose somewhat unevolved.
