Grasso’s 2017 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is fabulous. In fact, the Gavarini is
easily one of the wines of the vintage because it retains all of its classic
signatures, which is also the sign of a first-class vineyard. Bright and
vibrant in the glass, the Gavarini pulses with energy. Crushed red flowers,
mint, chalk, white pepper, cinnamon and orange peel give the 2017 a
super-classic Nebbiolo profile, as expressed in a relatively high-altitude
site. The precision and finesse of the tannins – so hard to find in 2017-
elevates the Gavarini into the realm of the sublime.
