The "Gavarini Chiniera" is a Barolo from one of the most interesting wineries in the Monforte d'Alba area. The Elio Grasso estate boasts about twenty hectares of vineyards, divided into different parcels, which are vinified separately to enhance the qualities of each terroir. The wines are appreciated for their classic and elegant profile. The wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes from vineyards about 35 years old, cultivated in splendid hillside exposures facing south, at an altitude of 350-400 meters above sea level. The soils are composed of calcareous-clay marl with presence of sands. The manual harvest takes place in the second half of October, and the best bunches are sent for fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with skin maceration and daily pump-overs. The wine matures in 25-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels and completes its aging with about ten months in the bottle.
