Etna Chinato (50cl)

Etna Chinato is a Sicilian chinato created by Federico Graziani, made in a limited edition. It starts from Etna Rosso wine, to which sugar, alcohol and a selection of botanicals are added, among them cinchona, fig leaves, olive leaves, prickly pear flowers, caper and bay. The colour is a dark ruby with garnet reflections. The nose offers aromatic herbs, Mediterranean scrub, citrus, cinchona and sweet spices. The palate is warm and enveloping, lingering, with a pleasant bitter note. It can be served neat after dinner, with blue cheeses or chocolate desserts, or lengthened with soda and ice as an aperitif.
