Gavarini(ガヴァリーニ)の特徴
[スロー・フード社発行-Atlante delle vigne di Langaより抜粋]
ガヴァリーニの畑はジネストラから全て見渡せる一段低い森に囲まれた丘にあります。ガヴァリーニで栽培された葡萄の品質は非常に高く、長きに渡りランゲの生産者はそのガヴァリーニの葡萄を買う為に争い合っていました。総面積は6haで、ガヴァリーニから産み出されたバローロはとても逞しく強いストラクチャーを持ち、香りが広がるまで少々時間が掛かります。

The Gavarini Chiniera vineyard is shaped like an amphitheater with thick forests at the back (which protects from cold air currents) and sandy chalk soil at 380 meters in elevation. This is a special site, and the Elio Grasso 2018 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is always one of Grasso's most easily recognized wines. This vintage is exceptionally bright and vibrant with lifted tones of cherry, plum, blue flower and sweet blood orange. Those primary notes are framed by sensations of dusty white mineral. This mid-weight wine exhibits the deep elegance that was achieved in this vintage. Production is 12,000 bottles.

The Elio Grasso 2016 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is immediately expressive and bright. The wine is savory and rich with a generous bouquet of dried berries, spice, crushed flowers and even a hint of market-fresh blueberry that we don't see in the other wines. The bouquet moves toward balsam notes with mint and rosemary the longer it stays in the glass. I also get anise flower and fresh licorice root as a pretty signature on the close. With aging in large Slavonian oak casks, the tannic integration is spot-on and so is the freshness and purity of those beautiful Nebbiolo nuances. Some 20,000 bottles were released.
