Elio Grasso Gavarini Vigna Chiniera Barolo 2012

The vineyards owned by the Grasso family are the estate’s greatest assets. The area where they are located has always been considered outstanding wine country, as is demonstrated by the inclusion of our holdings in the map of the finest vineyards drawn up by the great historian, Lorenzo Fantini, in the early 20th century.

In the early 1980s we decided to go back to our origins as grape growers, well aware that our work did not stop at the end of the row of vines. We had no illusions that we were inventing anything: we merely wanted to comply with the best in the traditions and work of our predecessors, without any preconceived ideas. The first logical consequence was the decision, from 1978, to vinify and bottle separately grapes from our various vineyards.

BAROLO GAVARINI CHINIERA

Barolo Gavarini Chiniera by Elio Grasso takes its name from the cru which it comes from : just 3 hectares of vineyards at 350 meters above the sea level, South facing, perfectly balanced with the calcareous-sandy soil of the hill. The Monforte area, right for these unique features in the exposures and in the conditions of the soil, manage to give grapes able to produce wines of extraordinary finesse, structure, elegance and prospect for aging.

• Colour: Red garnet with orange highlights
• Scent: Intense and fruity, recalling cloves and blueberry, with a pleasant black pepper note
• Taste: Structured and powerful, elegant and balanced, with soft and ripe tannins
