BAROLO CHINATO

Garnet red with orange tinges around the rim. The bouquet reveals aromas of rose, violet and Morello cherry in liqueur, complemented by balsamic and spicy notes. Warming, full, sweet and aromatic on the palate, with a long, persistent finish and a pleasantly bitter note of gentian.

Designation: Barolo Chinato aromatised wine

Grape variety: 100% Nebbiolo

Production area: Barolo, Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont

Training system: vertical trellising with Guyot pruning

Harvest: picked by hand into crates

Vinification: produced from Barolo wine obtained by destemming and gently crushing the grapes, followed by alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and approximately 15 days of skin maceration to extract colour, aromas and tannins. Once the minimum ageing period is complete and the wine has passed the chemical, physical and sensory tests required by the production regulations, it is aromatised through the cold infusion of Calisaya cinchona bark, gentian root, cardamom, bitter orange, rhubarb and other spices, including vanilla, in a hydroalcoholic solution. Sugar and alcohol are then added to achieve balance and harmony

Ageing: for at least 12 months in the bottle before release, allowing the aromatic components of the infusions to integrate into a harmonious and balanced whole

Alcohol content: 16.5% – Contains sulphites

Serving temperature: 18°C
