Barolo 2020 DOCG Gavarini Chiniera Elio Grasso

Barolo Gavarini Chiniera 2020 by Elio Grasso

The Barolo Gavarini Chiniera 2020 is a great red wine from the Langhe, crafted by Elio Grasso, a reference point in Monforte d’Alba. It is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in a historic vineyard, recognizable for its balance, precision, and ability to authentically express the character of the territory. It is a Barolo with a strong personality, designed for those seeking elegance, depth, and a perspective of evolution over time.

Territory and wine style

The cru Gavarini Chiniera is located in a particularly suitable area of Monforte d’Alba, with a south-facing exposure and altitudes ranging from 320 to 360 meters. The soil, a medium-textured limestone tending towards sandy, helps define a fine, taut, and harmonious profile. The production is limited and carefully managed, with manual harvesting in the second decade of October, a detail that confirms the attention to grape selection and the final quality of the wine.

Tasting notes

The Barolo Gavarini Chiniera 2020 presents the classic authoritative profile of Langa Nebbiolo: a bright ruby color that tends towards garnet with time, a complex and refined nose with floral notes, ripe red fruits, fine spices, and balsamic nuances. On the palate, it shows structure, a well-present tannic texture, and a freshness that supports the sip. The aging in 25-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels guides the wine towards a long, savory, and coherent finish, destined to gain further complexity with bottle aging.

Recommended pairings

This Barolo DOCG naturally pairs with braised dishes, important roasts, game, tajarin with meat ragù, plin with roast sauce, and aged cheeses. Its structure and acidity also make it suitable for rich and flavorful dishes of Piedmontese cuisine, where the wine can accompany and enhance the complexity of the dish without being overshadowed.

Serving temperature

The ideal temperature to serve the Barolo Gavarini Chiniera 2020 is between 16 and 18°C. In its youth, it can benefit from an early opening of at least an hour, to favor the expression of the bouquet and soften the initial impact of the tannin.
