ELIO GRASSO Barolo Gavarini Vigna Chiniera 2016
ELIO GRASSO
“We love to be recognized first as farmers and then as producers: it is our way of honoring and continuing the work of those who came before us and faced the typical difficulties of working with nature and wine.” This is the philosophy on which the family-run wine estate Elio Grasso is based.
Located in Monforte d’Alba, the estate’s 18 hectares are cultivated with Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Chardonnay grapes. From these, wines are crafted that can be defined as a concentrate of culture, terroir and tradition.
With an annual average of approximately 90,000 bottles, every production process is meticulously controlled, from supervising the work among the vines to final bottling. In the cellar, the technological equipment is state-of-the-art, but the management remains purely artisanal.
This gives rise to wines that combine character and balance, structure and territorial expression; labels that for years have made the Elio Grasso winery one of the most authoritative and prestigious estates in the Langhe region.

Vinification
The vinification of Elio Grasso’s Barolo DOCG “Gavarini Chiniera” involves fermentation in stainless steel. This is followed by aging in Slavonian oak barrels for thirty months. It is then aged for a further ten months in the bottle before release.
It maintains a vibrant and exuberant character, appearing complex on the nose and powerful on the palate.
Tasting notes
- Ruby red in the glass, with garnet highlights.
- The nose opens with hints of ripe red fruit and jam, followed by balsamic notes and touches of graphite, incense, and cocoa.
- Fresh and vibrant on the palate, characterized by a solid tannic structure and a long finish.
To be opened for the most formal and important occasions, it is ideal for pairing with juniper partridge.
