Barolo 2019 DOCG Ginestra Vigna Casa Matè MAGNUM Wooden Box

Barolo Ginestra Vigna Casa Matè Magnum 2019: elegance and structure from Monforte d'Alba

Barolo Ginestra Vigna Casa Matè 2019 Magnum is one of the most authoritative expressions of Elio Grasso, a historic winery in Monforte d'Alba. Made from Nebbiolo, it comes from a selected vineyard in the Ginestra area and accurately interprets the classic style of Barolo DOCG: depth, aromatic finesse, and a tannic structure capable of evolving over time. The Magnum format and wooden case enhance its character, making it a prestigious choice for the cellar or an important gift.

Territory and wine style

The Casa Matè vineyard is located in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba, in a context dedicated to the great tradition of Barolo. The south-facing exposure and altitude between 300 and 350 meters favor a balanced ripening of the grapes, while the medium-textured calcareous soil tending towards clay contributes to giving the wine structure, precision, and lift. The manual harvest in the second decade of October and the selection in the vineyard reflect a careful approach, focused on quality and the identity of the cru.

Tasting notes

In the glass, Barolo Ginestra Vigna Casa Matè 2019 Magnum presents the classic garnet color of Nebbiolo, bright and very charming. On the nose, it expresses fine and complex aromas, with nuances of ripe red fruits, spices, floral notes, and tertiary hints that intertwine elegantly. On the palate, it is a broad, structured, and deep wine, supported by vibrant freshness and dense tannins, present but well integrated. The finish is long, savory, and persistent, with a taste progression that invites the next sip.

Recommended pairings

This Italian wine pairs naturally with rich and flavorful dishes, such as braised meats, important roasts, game, venison, oven-roasted lamb, and mushroom-based preparations. It is also ideal with tajarin with ragù, fresh pasta with structured sauces, aged cheeses, and dishes from the Piedmontese tradition. Its complexity makes it perfect for an important table, where the wine must accompany the cuisine without losing its depth.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate Barolo Ginestra Vigna Casa Matè 2019 Magnum, the ideal serving temperature is between 18 and 20°C. In its youthful phase, it can benefit from slight aeration or an early opening to encourage the emergence of aromas and soften the tannic texture. The Magnum format, thanks to its slower evolution, is particularly suitable for those who desire a harmonious development over time.

Why buy it

Choosing this Barolo DOCG means opting for a label with a strong personality, capable of uniting territory, tradition, and aging potential. Its origin from Monforte d'Alba, the work of the Elio Grasso winery, and the Magnum format with a wooden case make it an ideal proposal for collectors, enthusiasts, and those looking for an important wine to uncork on a special occasion. It is a purchase that speaks of prestige, authenticity, and great wine culture.
