Viticulture

Barolo Chinato is an ancient Piedmontese digestif. The wine used as a basis for production is Barolo Albe DOCG in the current vintage. The flavouring begins with the "chinatura", that is, the addition of infusions of about thirty herbs, barks and roots of plants, including the yellow cinchona (Cinchona Calisaya), hence the name Chinato.

Oenology

Every Barolo Chinato has a secret recipe, but some aromas are so obvious that they cannot be ignored. In the choice of herbs, the estate has preferred those with specific digestive, decongestant and relaxing properties, drawing heavily on the rich floral heritage of the Alps. Organic Sicilian orange peel, spices and cane sugar complete the process.
