With vines adjacent to forests on white chalky soils, the Elio Grasso 2019 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is a luminous and very beautiful wine. Vintner Gianluca Grasso called this "the helicopter vintage" because he actually rented a helicopter to fly over the vines for 45 minutes to dry them from rain right before harvest. As he tells it, this was a costly but good decision because 15 minutes after he finished harvesting on October 26, heavy rain came and lasted an entire week. Thanks to these dramatic measures, the grape skins were excellent, and maceration with submerged cap lasted 55 days. That's how perfect the skins were. This balanced wine shows extreme precision and elegance.

Perfumes of cinnamon, plums and dried flowers follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Hints of cedar and sandalwood. Crunchy and lightly chewy. Give this four or five years to soften. Best after 2028.

Elio Grasso avait le choix. Il pouvait faire des vins puissants et intransigeants à partir de son beau domaine lové dans les collines surplombant Monforte. Ou bien mettre l'accent sur l'équilibre et l'harmonie. Au final, il a privilégié la deuxième option et atteint ses objectifs en portant une attention de tous les instants au vignoble. Grasso et sa famille proposent trois sélections parcellaires labellisées Barolo, dont la pureté et la complexité ont atteint désormais leur paroxysme. La Vigna Chiniera et le Case Maté font appel à des méthodes de vinification plutôt traditionnelles, tandis que le puissant Runcot est élevé pendant 30 mois dans des barriques flambant neuves. A découvrir également : ses Nebbiolo des Langhe et son Dolcetto d'Alba.
