Barolo Chinato

Barolo Chinato is a rich, aromatic red wine infused with a blend of herbs and spices, most notably quinine bark from cinchona. Made traditionally in Italy’s Piedmont region, it combines the boldness of Barolo wine with a complex, slightly bitter flavor profile. The addition of botanicals creates a warming, digestif-style drink that balances bitterness with sweetness and spice. Often enjoyed neat after meals, Barolo Chinato pairs well with desserts or cheese, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional after-dinner drinks. Its distinctive flavor and aroma make it a popular choice for those seeking a nuanced, herbal wine experience.
