Roagna Barolo Chinato

Roagna Barolo Chinato is a classic Piedmontese digestif with the depth and structure that have made Barolo one of Italy’s most revered wine names. Crafted in the traditional style, it combines the power of Barolo with a carefully balanced infusion of herbs and spices, resulting in a richly aromatic and distinctive after-dinner wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep garnet to mahogany hue, hinting at its intensity and complexity. The nose is layered and evocative, with notes of bitter orange peel, cocoa, dried cherry, cinnamon, cloves, and alpine herbs, all woven into the underlying character of Barolo. On the palate, it is silky, warming, and beautifully persistent, balancing sweetness, spice, and a gently bitter finish that gives the wine its signature appeal. The Barolo base adds structure and depth, while the chinato botanicals bring aromatic lift and a long, sophisticated finish. It is best enjoyed now, though its concentration and balance allow it to hold well over time once opened.

Production
No detailed vineyard or vinification information has been provided for this product. In general, Barolo Chinato is made from Barolo wine infused with quinine bark, roots, herbs, and spices, then sweetened and balanced to create a traditional aromatized wine with both complexity and digestif appeal.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled or at cool room temperature, around 14–16°C, to bring out its aromatics without dulling the structure. It is excellent on its own after a meal, but also pairs well with dark chocolate, spiced desserts, candied citrus, blue cheese, or hazelnut-based pastries. Decanting is not necessary.
