A traditional Piedmontese aromatized wine made from the estate's Barolo, infused with a secret blend of herbs, spices and roots including China Calissaia bark. The result is a complex, bittersweet digestif balancing Nebbiolo's tannin and acidity with the medicinal depth of the botanicals — notes of dark chocolate, dried cherry and warming spice.
A textbook Barolo Chinato that elevates the digestif category — an essential experience for serious Piedmont lovers.

Terroir & Winemaking
