About the Wine
An infusion of chinchona (China Calissaja and Succirubra barks) is macerated for 21 days in a small amount of Pio Cesare's classic Barolo. They then add a mixture of aromatic herbs, such as gentian roots, rhubarb, cardamom seeds, sweet and bitter orange, cinnamon and others, which all together compose this family recipe. Then, after a few weeks ageing, they add the proper amount of their classic Barolo.
After a light fining, the infusion is aged for 4 months in oak barrels, bottled, and after an additional ageing of at least 2 months, it finally becomes our Pio Cesare Barolo Chinato.
