Chynos is Francone's Vino Chinato, an aromatized wine made using the same traditional techniques as Vermouth and china-bark-flavored wines. Its base is Barbaresco DOCG, aged about one year in French oak to reach full fruity expression before being infused with gentian root, bitter wood, cardamom seeds, juniper berries, tonka beans, mace and chamomile, then aged a further 3 months in French oak. The result balances sweet and bitter beautifully.
Built on a Barbaresco base rather than a simple table wine, Chynos has more depth than most Vino Chinato — a serious digestivo, not a novelty.
