Barolo DOCG Gavarini Chiniera MAGNUM Elio Grasso

The Barolo Gavarini Chiniera MAGNUM by Elio Grasso is one of the most authoritative interpretations of Nebbiolo from Monforte d’Alba. It comes from a historic and easily recognizable vineyard, capable of expressing an elegant, deep Barolo that is destined to evolve with great personality over time. The magnum format further enhances its aging potential and makes this bottle particularly interesting for those looking for an important wine, to be kept or shared on special occasions.

Territory and wine style

The Gavarini Chiniera vineyard is located in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, in one of the most appreciated areas of the Barolo DOCG denomination. The south-facing exposure and the altitude between 320 and 360 meters contribute to a complete ripening of the grapes, while maintaining tension and finesse. The soils, of medium calcareous texture tending towards sandy, favor an elegant and clear profile, while the management of the vineyard and manual harvesting during the vintage help preserve the precision and quality of the fruit. The style consistently reflects the tradition of Elio Grasso: rigor, depth, and a very territorial interpretation of Barolo.

Tasting notes

In the glass, the wine presents itself with the typical garnet color of Barolo, already capable of suggesting complexity and evolutionary potential. On the nose, one can expect fine and layered aromas, with hints of small red fruits, spices, floral notes, and more mature nuances that open up with oxygenation. On the palate, it is a structured wine, supported by a firm yet noble tannic framework, vibrant freshness, and a flavor progression that combines energy and harmony. The finish is long, savory, and persistent, with an evolution that rewards time in the bottle.

Recommended pairings

The Barolo Gavarini Chiniera MAGNUM pairs effectively with important dishes of Italian cuisine. It is ideal with braised meats, roasts, stews of red meats, game, tajarin with ragù, and preparations with mushrooms or truffles. It also expresses well with aged and flavorful cheeses, where structure and tannin find a natural balance. Thanks to the magnum format, it is also perfect for convivial lunches and celebratory dinners when one wishes to open a prestigious bottle.

Serving temperature

Serve the Barolo Gavarini Chiniera MAGNUM at a temperature of 16-18°C. If opened at a young age, it can benefit from decanting to promote the opening of the bouquet and soften the tannic structure. It is advisable to uncork it a little in advance of serving, allowing the wine to express its complexity and balance at its best.
