FEATURES
Barolo Chinato is an aromatized and fortified wine from Italy's Piedmont region, traditionally based on Barolo wine made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. It's made by infusing Barolo wine with a complex blend of botanicals, including cinchona bark (quinine, from which 'chinato' derives its name), gentian, rhubarb root, cinnamon, coriander, orange peels, cloves, cardamom, and many others. Roagna's Barolo Chinato Vecchia Formula is an extraordinary example, combining traditional craftsmanship with a unique aromatic complexity. It's known for its deep ruby to mahogany color with amber reflections, and an intense bouquet of cinchona bark, bitter orange, dried herbs, and spices, often with notes of dark chocolate and rose petals. The palate is full, velvety, and harmonious, with an elegant sweetness perfectly balanced by a refreshing bitter herbal and spicy note, leading to a long, complex finish. Roagna is known for traditional production methods, exclusively using large wooden barrels and releasing wines only when they reach their first drinking maturity. 【A complex, aristocratic aromatized wine with a secret traditional recipe】
Barolo Chinato is a classic digestif, traditionally enjoyed after a meal. It pairs exceptionally well with dark chocolate desserts, pralines, or aged Pecorino cheese. It can also be served as an aperitif with ice and seltzer water, or even warm with a piece of orange zest. For a cocktail, it can be used in a Piedmont Negroni.
Roagna Barolo Chinato Vecchia Formula is perfect for winding down an evening, as a sophisticated after-dinner drink, or as a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates unique and traditional Italian beverages. Its complexity also makes it suitable for meditative sipping.
