Elio Grasso's 2021 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera builds upon its rich tradition, showcasing unexpected charm and depth in this vintage. Floral violets and macerated red fruits mingle with blood orange, mint, and peach on the nose. Unlike previous linear expressions, this vintage boasts creamy intensity and supple tannins. Raspberry and pomegranate explode on the palate, making it remarkably approachable. Iron, chalk, and red cherry notes add welcome complexity. This potent, explosive Barolo, both graceful and powerful, offers a broad drinking window, but can be enjoyed tonight. Enjoy with rich, savory dishes like braised beef short ribs, truffle risotto, or aged cheeses. Its complexity also complements game meats like venison or wild boar.

96 Points, Michaela Morris, Decanter.com: "Reaching 400m, Gavarini Chiniera sits on slightly sandy, limestone-rich clay. The 2021 saw a 40-day submerged cap maceration and, like its sister bottling Casa Matè, was matured in 25-hectolitre untoasted Slavonian oak casks. It is redolent of pine forest, spice, rose and violet. With cherry and black currant depths, the full-bodied palate brings in earthy truffles, making for a thoroughly captivating expression. A crisp backbone of acidity counters the fleshy fruit and fine, granular tannins provide a well-drawn frame..." 01/25
