Gianluca Grasso's 2011 Barolos are more than worthy follow-ups to the stellar 2010s. Grasso gave his 2011 Barolos 23 days on the skins. I tasted the 2011s from tank just prior to bottling. In 2011, Grasso did not bottle the Riserva Rüncot, instead that fruit went into the Langhe Nebbiolo.
The 2011 Barolo Gavarini Vigna Chiniera is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Sweet floral and spice notes meld into bright red stone fruits and mint, all supported by fine, chalky tannins that give the wine its sense of energy and tension. Rose petal, mint and perfumed red berries wrap around the textured finish. The 2011 is vivid, alive and crystalline in its beauty. There is plenty of potential here.
