ANTICA TORINO VINO CHINATO 18% 750ML NORTHERN ITALY (SPECIAL ORDER 1 WEEK)

Vino Chinato, a fortified wine produced in the style of a Barolo Chinato Made with Langhe Nebbiolo DOP from Luigi Voghera; fortified with neutral wheat distillate Featured botanicals include cinchona, wormwood, gentian, elderflower, rhubarb, bay leaves, chamomile, marjoram, cinnamon, vanilla, coriander, rose, and nutmeg Aromas of mulled wine and dried rose petals give rise to a palate of prominent cinchona bitterness and gentian-inspired citrus pith. This sharp bite subsides for a long and deep finish of nutmeg, allspice, and Mexican chocolate; long after, the gentian returns for one last curtain call. 18% ABV Barolo Chinato is a venerated category of Piedmontese spirit that stylistically sits between a vermouth and an amaro. Certified DOCG Barolo wine provides the base, which is heavily flavored with cinchona, spices, sugar, herbs, and other botanicals. Antica Torino has created their take on a classic chinato with the utmost respect for the category, creating a suitably rich and complex expression that can be enjoyed after dinner, as is traditionally done, or utilized as a compelling cocktail component.
