Chinato wine was born at the end of the 19th century in the pharmacy of Dr. Cappellano in Serralunga d’Alba (CN), and the first producers were the pharmacists of various towns in the Langa area. In a short time, it became a legendary elixir with extraordinary properties, surrounded by the appropriate aura of mystery that shrouded the secret formulas with which it was produced. With these premises, it first spread as a medicinal elixir among farming families and then as a digestive or dessert wine. <\/p>\n
It is obtained through the infusion of our Nebbiolo with spices, the main ones being quinine, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. Alcohol and sugar are subsequently added to obtain this refined and delicate fortified wine. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Color: <\/strong>In appearance it is clear, with a slightly orange rim, moderately alcoholic, with a red color between amber and garnet; the characteristic aroma recalls tanning, while the taste is warm, round, and persistent.<\/p>\n Aroma: <\/strong>On the nose, it is very intense and persistent with distinct spicy, fruity, and vegetal notes of Cinchona calisaya, bitter orange, cardamom, Durone cherry, and overripe, slightly macerated blackberries, as well as dried aromatic and balsamic herbs.<\/p>\n Taste: <\/strong>The bitter impact of the quinine is well balanced by the sugar and alcohol, and the product is a continuous succession of flavors with long persistence, closing with a pleasantly bitterish note. On the palate it is sweet, round, slightly savory, very warm, with a pleasant tannic vein, full yet slender, with good aromatic persistence and a pleasant bitterish finish. Aftertaste: sweet with a tannic vein and spicy, floral, fruity, and vegetal notes <\/p>\n Food pairings: <\/strong>It can certainly be considered excellent at the end of a meal as a digestive and pairs superbly with chocolate and fruit-based desserts. Traditionally, in Piedmontese families it was used to prepare hot “punches” and offered at any time of day to guests as a sign of respect. Serve it in small bitter liqueur glasses. <\/p>\n Serving temperature:<\/strong> 18-20\u00b0C \u2013 room temperature Chinato wine was born at the end of the 19th century in the pharmacy of Dr. Cappellano in Serralunga d’Alba (CN), and the first producers were the pharmacists of various towns in the Langa area.
