Punteggi dei critici
97 Robert Parker
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.
Produttore
Azienda Agricola Elio Grasso
Elio Grasso, a capo dell’Azienda Agricola Grasso Elio, si è trovato di fronte a una scelta: poteva produrre vini robusti e possenti nella sua bella tenuta sulle colline alle spalle di Monforte oppure poteva enfatizzare l’equilibrio e l'armonia. Ha scelto quest’ultima strada e persegue questi obiettivi attraverso una rigorosa attenzione ai vigneti. Grasso e la sua famiglia offrono tre Barolo mono-vigneto, più puri e più complessi che mai. Il Barolo Gavarini Vigna Chiniera e il Barolo Ginestra Case Maté sono realizzati in uno stile più tradizionale, mentre il potente Runcot è affinato per 30 mesi in barrique completamente nuove. Molto consigliati sono anche il loro Nebbiolo delle Langhe e il Dolcetto d'Alba.
