Here is one of those deals that stops you in your tracks: a single-vineyard Barolo from a master producer, Elio Grasso, at a price we almost never see. The "Gavarini Chiniera" is a benchmark for Monforte d'Alba, and this is your chance to get it for a steal. The 2017 vintage was hot and dry, resulting in wines of immense concentration and power. In lesser hands, these wines could be clumsy, but this is Elio Grasso. He has channeled that intensity into a wine that is both powerful and impeccably balanced. The nose is a captivating storm of ripe dark cherry, plum, and licorice, layered with those classic Monforte notes of iron, scorched earth, and savory herbs. What makes this offer so compelling is the wine's readiness. At this point in time, the 2017 is ready to go—a more forward and accessible Gavarini Chiniera that is absolutely delicious and thrilling to drink now with a decant. Yet, its formidable structure ensures it has many years of beautiful evolution ahead of it, easily 15-20 more. For this price, it’s an absolute must-buy. You rarely, if ever, see this iconic single-vineyard Barolo priced so low. This is a true killer deal and the perfect powerhouse red to stock up on for the upcoming holiday season.
