Elio Grasso – Barolo Gavarini Chiniera – 2018

The Gavarini Chiniera vineyard located in the Ginestra cru is almost entirely owned by the Grasso family, and is one of the most historic sites in the town of Monforte d’Alba.
It is located in the highest part of the Ginestra hill, with a completely southern exposure and slightly thinner soils rich in clay. Here Barolos tend to be very dry and dusty, but with slightly fresher and balsamic notes. In this case the wine was aged for 2 years in 25 hectoliters casks and 10 months in bottle.

Description

Elio Grasso is one of the reference wineries for Barolo wine. Without losing the origins of farmers, Elio Grasso, together with his wife, in the ’70s gave a qualitative change to the wines first of all and to the vineyards, replanting them one by one, selecting each parcel of Nebbiolo, but also focusing on international varieties such as Chardonnay. The winery is located in the Ginestra vineyard, on the eastern side of the commune of Monforte, considered since ancient times the best vineyard of the village, but also one of the most complex because of the soils rich in blue marl.
The winery manages 42 hectares of land between woods and vineyards, and since the 1980’s has decided to give a great importance to the different soil types of the Ginestra cru by vinifying separately two micro subzones: Casa Matè and Gavarini. Moreover the style of the winery, besides the respect for the territory, has always been avant-garde with the almost exclusive use of 225 liter barrels for aging and steel tanks for fermentation. Mythical wines, with great structure, known worldwide. An absolute guarantee.
