Elio Grasso Gavarini 2013

90POINTS

16^½/20

Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyThis nebbiolo is from the sandy, limestone-based soils of Monforte d’Alba, at 350-400m in altitude. An alluring nose of subtle cherry and wild raspberry continues to the medium-bodied palate, where wild roses, cherry and a fine riff of salts intertwine. Tannins are taut, but fine and smoothed, with the tug on the finish reminding you of the grape at hand. A highly approachable, but still highly interesting and rewarding, Langhe for drinking now or in 1-2 years time, especially with truffle-decked pastas or risotto.Tasted: 08 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
