Dense and formidable, this Gavarini Chiniera shows serious concentration beneath an impenetrable exterior. Wild herbs, tar and dark fruit emerge slowly, but massive tannins dominate the finish. Built like a fortress - this needs serious cellar time to reach its potential. Drink 2028-2040.

Elio Grasso

Elio Grasso is a benchmark Barolo estate in Monforte d'Alba, farming the Ginestra and Gavarini crus across two generations. The wines are structured, age-worthy, and among the most consistent in the appellation.
