Barolo Chinato

By Giovanni Sordo, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy

Giovanni Sordo Barolo Chinato

An aromatised wine from an old family recipe, made by infusing aged Barolo with cinchona and alpine herbs and maturing it in oak.

Tasting notes

Amber red with a faint ruby tinge. Pleasing and inviting, with a spicy, intense and lingering fragrance; an elixir with little alcohol.

Pairs well with

Aperitif with soda water, bitter orange and ice; neat at the end of a meal as a digestive; warmed with a twist of orange; dark chocolate desserts
