Barolo Chinato (500ml) - Borgogno

Borgogno's Barolo Chinato is a celebration of tradition and expertise in the production of flavored wines, with a secret recipe that dates back to the 1920s. Created from the noble Barolo DOCG, this unique wine is infused with 46 different aromatic herbs, including vanilla, cloves, gentian, rhubarb, and more exotic ones like sandalwood, cardamom, calamus, and mace, macerating in hydroalcoholic solutions for 35 to 70 days. The true star of this recipe is the cinchona, obtained from the bark of the Cinchona tree, particularly the Calisaya and Soccirubra varieties, which give the wine its characteristic bitter taste. Borgogno's Barolo Chinato presents itself with a red color, accentuated by amber and garnet reflections, offering typical leather nuances on the nose and revealing a soft, round palate with a long and enveloping finish. This fortified wine, with an alcohol content ranging from 17 to 17.5%, is the result of a natural infusion that includes, in addition to cinchona, vanilla, cinnamon, juniper, and rhubarb, resting for about 3 months with the finest Barolo before bottling. It is recommended to further mature it for 6 months in the bottle before consumption. This flavored wine is a blend of Borgogno's Barolos, enriched by an infusion of carefully selected herbs and spices. Its complexity makes it versatile, ideal as an aperitif, refreshing cocktail base, digestif, or even as an herbal tea. A true "natural restorer," as Cesare Borgogno defined it, capable of "restoring strength, giving life"... perfect for any occasion.

Borgogno is an institution in the wine world, with roots dating back to 1761 in the Langhe region of Piedmont. This historic winery has traversed centuries of Italian wine history, significantly contributing to the development of Barolo, known as the "King of Wines." Cesare Borgogno's innovative vision in the 1920s, which expanded production and began exporting wines abroad, positioned Borgogno as an international reference point in the wine industry. Today, Borgogno manages 39 hectares of land, 31 of which are vineyards, with cultivations ranging from indigenous varieties such as Nebbiolo, the protagonist of their renowned Barolo, to minor varieties such as Dolcetto, Barbera, Freisa, Riesling, and Timorasso, the latter being the focus of a revitalization project. Borgogno's philosophy, which combines respect for tradition with an eye for sustainability and innovation, is reflected in its wines, appreciated both for their traditional style and long-term aging potential, making them favorites among Italian wine enthusiasts and collectors.
