Description
A soft an approachable entry into Elio Grasso's serious Barolo bottling.
Bright ruby red with garnet hues. Intense red-fruity bouquet with aromas of ripe forest berries and raspberries as well as some plum. Some red and black fruit, licorice and dried rose petals on the palate. Fine tannins and great length.

The 2024 Langhe Nebbiolo Gavarini pours a brilliant ruby red color and clearly stands a step above in this category, especially in a vintage like 2024, which generally leans toward some dilution. Sourced from declassified Barolo fruit, it offers beautiful aromatics of pressed cranberries, fresh roses, orange peel, and dusty earth. Medium-bodied, it offers elegance and balance, with fine tannins, bright freshness, and a mouthwatering texture that carries through the finish. It’s approachable already yet structured enough to evolve nicely over the coming decade.
