Elio Grasso Langhe Nebbiolo Gavarini 2025

Elio Grasso’s Langhe Nebbiolo Gavarini is a refined expression of Piedmont’s most celebrated red grape, offering the elegance and aromatic lift that have made Nebbiolo a benchmark variety since its earliest mentions in the late 13th century. Sourced from sun-drenched hillside vineyards in Monferrato d’Alba, this DOC wine captures the character of Langhe with purity, precision, and a distinctly regional identity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby-red color with the transparent, graceful appearance Nebbiolo is known for. The nose is expressive yet lifted, with notes of red cherry, raspberry, dried rose, and a subtle earthy, almost smoky nuance, often supported by hints of spice and autumnal complexity. On the palate, expect a wine with freshness, fine structure, and elegant tannins rather than heavy concentration. It is balanced and savory, with a long, precise finish that reflects the grape’s natural tension and character. While enjoyable young for its vibrancy, Nebbiolo has the capacity to develop additional nuance with a few years of bottle age.

Production
This Langhe Nebbiolo DOC is made exclusively from 100% Nebbiolo grown in the Cuneo province of Piedmont, in the Langhe hills around Monferrato d’Alba at roughly 350 meters above sea level. The vineyards benefit from sunny slopes with well-drained, non-humid conditions, which are ideal for the late-ripening nature of Nebbiolo. Harvest takes place in the first ten days of October, followed by alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, then a period of rest in tank before bottling in April or May.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with Piedmontese classics such as mushroom risotto, tajarin with truffle, roasted poultry, veal, and braised meats, as well as mature hard cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, to highlight its fragrance and structure. Decanting is not essential for this style, but a short decant can help open the wine if served soon after release.
