CRITIC REVIEWS
James Suckling
Beautiful aromas of tar, roses and berries follow through to a full body, soft and silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Tight and focused. Fantastic wine. Drink or hold for many years ahead.

The 2013 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera stands apart in this tasting of Elio Grassos 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 wines mouthfeel evokes a profound sense of elegance thanks to those noble tannins and its silky texture.
