Production: made with Barolo D.O.C.G. aged for at least 10 years. According to the original recipe the wine is aromatized with a natural infusion of china calisaia bark, rhubarb root, gentian, cinnamon and other aromatic herbs. Fortified with alcohol in order to reach an alcohol content of 17 %, it rests for at least a year in 700 l oak barrels before bottling.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Color: brick red tending towards orange.
Nose: spicy and intense with cinnamon and rhubarb notes.
Mouth: well balanced between the bitterness of china calisaia and the sweetness of the sugar. Dry finish and slightly tannic, similar to an aged Barolo.
Food pairings: perfect as an after dinner drink. Excellent paired with bitter dark chocolate and biscuits.
Serving suggestions: serve at 16-18 °C.
