Gavarini Chiniera

2020 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Elio Grasso Gavarini Chiniera 2020 is a stunning example of a classic Nebbiolo from the revered Barolo region. This full-bodied wine invites you in with its vibrant ruby-red hue, capturing your attention immediately. The high acidity gives it a bright, lively character, perfectly balanced by the powerful, structured tannins that are quintessential to the Nebbiolo varietal. The fruit intensity is nothing short of prominent, with layers of rich red fruit—think cherries and raspberries—intertwined with nuanced notes of rose petals, tar, and an enticing hint of truffle. Barolo wines are celebrated for their ability to age gracefully, and this wine is no exception, promising even more complexity and depth in the years to come. This Elio Grasso creation is a testament to the skillful winemaking and superior terroir of the Barolo region, projecting confidence and an understanding of tradition while offering a truly memorable tasting experience.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
