Barolo Chinato is a special wine produced with Barolo DOCG, flavoured with china calisaya bark, rhubarb root and gentian, whose active ingredients are extracted through maceration at room temperature. At the final stage, aromatic herbs are added, including precious cardamom seeds.
In the past this particular wine was used as an antidote for every kind of illness and moreover its antipyretic and digestive properties were highly acclaimed and sought after. According to the ‘Langhe’ tradition, one always had to keep a bottle of Barolo Chinato in the cupboard; offering it to guests was customary, demonstrating the simplicity and authenticity of ‘rustic’ hospitality.
