Monica Larner, January 2025 (Vintage 2023)

Here is a pretty and easy-drinking expression from Elio Grasso. Made in stainless steel only, the 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo Gavarini shows redcurrant, blood orange and a hint of spicy white pepper. This easy-drinking wine offers good freshness and zesty fruit flavors in the near term. Pair it with a simple roast chicken. Production is 25,000 bottles.

The 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo Gavarini is a ne entry-level oering. Kirsch, strawberry, cedar, mint and chalk are very nicely delineated. This tasty Langhe Nebbiolo is charming right out of the gate.
