Barolo DOCG Gavarini Chiniera Magnum 2019 Elio Grasso

The Barolo Gavarini Chiniera Magnum 2019 by Elio Grasso interprets the character of Nebbiolo from Monforte d'Alba with great precision. It is a wine of strong territorial identity, born from a historic vineyard and careful work in the vineyard and cellar, capable of expressing balance, finesse, and evolutionary potential. The Magnum bottle further enhances the moment of consumption, making it ideal for important occasions and for even more harmonious aging.

Territory and wine style

This Barolo DOCG comes from the Gavarini Chiniera vineyard, south of Monforte d'Alba, at an altitude between 320 and 360 meters. The medium-textured calcareous soils tending to sandy contribute to defining an elegant and clear profile, while the Guyot training and manual harvesting testify to a quality-oriented approach. The result is a classic Barolo, structured yet refined, with the typical depth of Nebbiolo and a beautiful territorial imprint.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents the typical color of Nebbiolo, bright and transparent, capable of evolving over time towards more mature shades. On the nose, it offers complex and progressive aromas, with hints of small red fruits, withered rose, fine spices, and earthy notes. On the palate, the sip is tense, firm, and coherent, supported by an important but well-integrated tannic structure, lively freshness, and a long and savory persistence. Aging in large Slavonian oak barrels helps preserve purity and balance without overshadowing the fruit.

Recommended pairings

The Barolo Gavarini Chiniera Magnum 2019 pairs wonderfully with braised dishes, important roasts, game, tajarin with meat ragù, structured risottos, porcini mushrooms, and aged cheeses. Its authority also makes it suitable for traditional Piedmontese dishes, where the savory component and structure of the wine find a natural dialogue with rich and complex preparations.

Serving temperature

It is recommended to serve the Barolo Gavarini Chiniera Magnum at a temperature of 16-18°C. If opened young, it can benefit from some time in a decanter or bottle to express itself with greater breadth. The Magnum, thanks to its format, promotes a slow and harmonious evolution over time.
