			BAROLO CHINATO
Wine			A traditional Barolo D.O.C.G. aged three years
History			Popular in Piedmont at the end of the nineteenth century as a fortifying elixir. The traditional recipe added an infusion of china (a bark extract from Cinchona trees) together with twenty-seven spices and herbs to a basis of Barolo.
Tasting notes			Deep garnet red with brick red highlights. Complex, persistent bouquet of spices and aromatic herbs, with prevailing flavours of cinchona bark, cinnamon and rhubarb. Generous, mouth filling with a velvety texture. A pleasantly bitter aftertaste.
Winemaking			The twenty-eight spices are left steeped in the wine for ninety days. Once the wine is bottled, it rests for further ninety days before being marketed.
Alcohol			16,5% by vol.
Food pairings			Excellent digestive, even more charming with dark chocolate (70-80% cocoa). A wine for thought.
Serving temperature			18° - 20° C.
