Why shop with us?
Cappellano Barolo Chinato is a distinctive Piedmontese digestif, made in the style of the historic aromatised wines of the region. Its roots reach back to the late 19th century, when pharmacist Giuseppe Cappellano perfected the family’s original recipe, first promoted for medicinal use and later recognised as a classic of Italian wine culture.
Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, garnet-toned appearance, with an aromatic profile shaped by Barolo and the bitter, fragrant character of cinchona and botanicals. The palate is typically warming and layered, balancing sweetness with bittersweet spice and a lingering finish. Serve as a contemplative drink after a meal; specific vintage and ageing details are not provided.
Production
Cappellano describes its Barolo Chinato as the result of a family recipe passed down through generations, drawing on a close knowledge of local culture and landscape. Barolo Chinato is an aromatised wine based on Barolo and flavoured with cinchona and other botanicals; details of the wine’s sourcing and production methods are not specified.
Food & Serving
Enjoy it on its own as an after-dinner drink, or pair it with dark chocolate, spiced desserts or mature cheeses. Serve slightly cool or at a cool room temperature, and pour gently into a small glass. Decanting is not generally necessary.
Producer
The Cappellano family’s Barolo Chinato tradition is associated with Giuseppe Cappellano, a pharmacist from Serralunga d’Alba who had a shop in Turin and perfected the original recipe in the late 19th century. The wine became one of the enduring classics of Italian oenology, and the family continues to preserve the recipe as part of its heritage.
