The wine used for the production of Vajra Chinato is the current vintage of Barolo Able DOCG, subject to suitability of the competent Chamber of Commerce. The 'chinato' process begins with the adding of infusions coming from thirty or so herbs, zests and plant roots. The Chinato presents with a vivid ruby red color. On the nose it exudes the same freshness as the vineyards's Barolos and is accompanied by an alternation of orange zest and mountain herbs. On the palate it is pleasantly slightly bitter and persistent.

All of the #chinato here has been taken from the 2008 vintage. Heavy tastes of clove and mint. Very tasty! #vinitaly2015
