Barolo Chinato


A fortified wine that spread in production through Piedmont at the end of the 19th century as an invigorating elixir.
To this day it is made following the original recipe which calls for a base of Barolo that has been aged for three years and infused with cinchona bark and other spices.
It is an excellent digestive, and even better accompanied by a higher percentage dark chocolate. A wine for meditation.
