Everything starts from an ancient and secret recipe of Casa Borgogno, which originates in the 1920s. We start with the wine, Barolo DOCG. Meanwhile, in order to produce this aromatized wine, we create an infusion of 46 aromatic herbs (some grinded, some roughly broken-up, some other crumbled), that is put in maceration into hydroalcoholic solutions, from 35 to 70 days. From the most common aromas such as vanilla, cloves, gentian, rhubarb, to the more uncommon sandal, cardamom, calamus, mace. We won’t reveal them all though… that’s a secret! Protagonist of this aromatized wine is obviously the quinine (China) from the Cinchona tree bark, of which we use two different varieties: Calisaya, Soccirubra.
Barolo Chinato, made with 100% Barolo, is mildly alcoholic, its color is red with amber and garnet highlights. It shows the typical hints of leather on the nose while on the palate it is smooth, round, and with a long finish.
Enjoy it as you wish! Neat, on the rocks, with hot water, with dark chocolate. Ideal as an aperitifs, refreshing drink, or as a base for cocktails, digestive or like a herbal tea. Cesare said that this is a “natural restorative”, something that restores strength, restores life… perfect!
Boccaccio Cellars offers real time shipping rates at checkout. These are heavily subsidised rates directly from Australia Post and will vary depending on your postcode.
Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine.
Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
- What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).
Pickups on all items are encouraged.
