I have placed a number of orders for wine with B‑21. Could not be happier with the process. Selection is very nice and comprehensive. I have called their support line re delivery of a pre‑order and was very pleased with their level of support in delivering wine around a time period when traveling and\or not available to take receipt. Overall, I extremely pleased.

B21 is the best wine online provider I’ve ever experienced. They have the deepest inventory of European wines, their prices are unbeatable and delivery is speedy and flexible. A five star experience and I’ve been a customer for over four years.

Only thing I don’t like is UPS charges an access point fee to drop off five dollars per case I would have it shipped to my apartment but you have to be present to sign for it and UPS is terrible about arranging that

2022 Elio Grasso Barbera d'Alba Vigna Martina (750ml)

“One of the finest vineyards and wineries in the Langhe today.” - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

Ranked among “the most impressive Barolos of the vintage” according to Antonio Galloni of Vinous, the powerful and elegant 97 pt. 2020 Elio Grasso Barolo Gavarini Chiniera hits the mark as one of the vintage’s best among its higher profile peers, revealing a rich, concentrated core of brightly aromatic, dark fruit with a seamless backbone of fresh acidity and a long, vibrant finish, a stunning Cru Barolo bargain priced for collectors to lay down and savor over the next several decades.

Descended from Piedmont grape growers dating back to the late 19th century, Elio Grasso was sent away by his family to escape what they deemed a common life as a “contadino” or farmer, returning home upon his father’s death to vinify the family’s grapes for the first time in 1979 and producing “some of the most fairly priced, age worthy wines on the planet” according to critic Antonio Galloni. Managing the 24-hectare estate including 18 hectares of vineyards throughout Monforte d’Alba, Elio’s son Gianluca sourced the 2020 Gavarini Chiniera from the amphitheater-shaped Vigna Chiniera parcel that is essentially a monopole of the Grasso family and widely regarded as the finest sub-cru in Monforte, the Nebbiolo vines planted in sandy chalk soils and protected on one end by a band of forested land purchased by the Grasso family to preserve the plot’s biodiversity. Fermented in stainless steel in the Grasso’s modern winery and cave tunneled below the vines, winemaker Gianluca aged the impressive 2020 Elio Grasso Barolo Gavarini Chiniera in traditional large 15 to 22 year Slavonian oak barrels for four years with a further year in bottle, yielding “one of Grasso’s most easily recognized wines” according to the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner with alluring fragrant dark fruit hinting of earthy truffle and crushed stone and firm, fine grained tannins promising a decades’ long lifespan in the cellar.

Producing Nebbiolo wines that “stand out for their exceptional finesse” according to Vinous critic Galloni, the enticing 97 pt. 2020 Elio Grasso Barolo Gavarini Chiniera reflects Elio Grasso’s expertise of crafting classically styled Barolo perfectly balanced by refinement and finesse, a superb deal from an estate that despite its stellar reputation continues to over deliver value for fortunate Barolo collectors - as Galloni wrote over two decades ago, “When the comprehensive history of Piedmont is finally written, a very special place will need to be reserved for Elio Grasso.”

92WA

The barrique-aged Elio Grasso 2022 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Martina has a sweet side with aromas of baked fruit, raisin and blackberry coulis. These give the wine a heavier footprint in a vintage that is recognized for its richness and fruit-forward nature. The finish is bold and softly textured. This is a 21,000-bottle release.

92 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (Jan 2025)
