A benchmark single-cru Barolo from one of Monforte d'Alba's quietest perfectionists. Elio Grasso's Gavarini Chiniera bottling comes from the Chiniera block within the Gavarini MGA, planted on sandy, limestone-based soils above the family's farmhouse cellar. Gianluca Grasso leads today, working in a classical Monforte mold: long Slavonian-cask aging, no shortcuts, no makeup. The 2013 vintage was a structured classical year, and at twelve years out the wine is just stepping into its window. Expect perfumed Nebbiolo elegance over a serious tannic frame, with the kind of savory complexity that justifies the cellar time. A Barolo for the long game.
