Barolo Chinato Vino Aromatizzato (50cl)

An aromatised wine from Schiavenza, based on Barolo and made to an old family recipe with aromatic herbs, in which Calisaya cinchona bark prevails. The colour is a deep, intense ruby red, and the nose is balsamic and spicy, with cinchona, gentian and rhubarb. On the palate it is warm and enveloping, pleasantly bitter, with a long finish. It suits the end of a meal, perhaps with dark chocolate, and also works as a wine for quiet sipping.
