Alessio Vino Chinato (16.5%)

Alessio Vino Chinato is an Italian aromatized wine made in the chinato tradition. It is built on a Nebbiolo d'Alba base and aromatized with herbs, spices and cinchona bark, placing it between vermouth and Barolo Chinato in style. Produced by Tempus Fugit Spirits, it draws on 19th-century Italian chinato wines. It can be enjoyed chilled as an aperitif or used as a substitute for sweet vermouth in cocktails. The nose shows black cherry, plum, dried red berries, cinnamon, vanilla and alpine herbs. The palate is rich and structured with dark fruit, herbal bitterness and gentle tannins, while the finish is long with bitter herbs, dark cocoa and red fruit.
