Gavarini Chiniera 2018

Elio Grasso

Case Format: 6x75cl

The Elio Grasso Gavarini Chiniera Barolo presents itself wonderfully dry to the wine lover. This red wine is never coarse or meager, but round and smooth. This dense red wine presents itself full-bodied and complex on the palate. Due to the balanced fruit acid, the Gavarini Chiniera Barolo flatters with a soft mouthfeel, without lacking freshness at the same time. In the finish, this very storable red wine from the wine-growing region of Piedmont finally inspires with considerable length. Once again, hints of mulberry and black currant show. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by sand and limestone are added.

CRITIC REVIEWS

Monica Larner

The Gavarini Chiniera vineyard is shaped like an amphitheater with thick forests at the back (which protects from cold air currents) and sandy chalk soil at 380 meters in elevation. This is a special site, and the Elio Grasso 2018 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is always one of Grassos most easily recognized wines. This vintage is exceptionally bright and vibrant with lifted tones of cherry, plum, blue flower and sweet blood orange. Those primary notes are framed by sensations of dusty white mineral. This mid-weight wine exhibits the deep elegance that was achieved in this vintage. Production is 12,000 bottles.

Dried-cherry, strawberry and tar aromas follow through to a full body with intense, chewy tannins that frame the wine nicely. Flavorful finish. Juicy. Not a big wine, but shows structure and class for the vintage. Try after 2026.
