Roagna Barolo Chinato

Description

Fermented wines with added herbs and spices have been produced since ancient times. In the Langa, the advent of chinato can be attributed to Dr Cappellano, a pharmacist from Serralunga d'Alba, who created this elixir at the end of the 19th century for curative purposes. Over the years, the various families of the Langa then developed their own recipes, based on family tastes and the herbs available in the vineyards.

Taste

Our Barolo Chinato comes from an old family recipe. The base is Barolo Pira, aged for a long time and in full development of secondary aromas. Different infusions in Barolo grappa of herbs, barks and flowers are added to the aged wine; this elixir thus formed rests for a few more months and is then bottled.

The true heritage of the Roagna family vineyards are the old vines. Plants that are at least 50 years old, in some cases even up to 80 years old. Vines that continue to produce few grapes but of high quality. Care and attention is dedicated to this heritage in the various estate vineyards between the Barbaresco and Barolo areas, in order to obtain a final product of the highest level.

Wines that fully express terroir, in the true sense of the term, where the grape variety and its place claim recognisability and authenticity in the glass. This is the desire of Alfredo and Luca Roagna. Read more
