Barolo Chinato
In the Piedmont region, old Barolo wine is used to make an after-dinner digestif known as Barolo Chinato. The bark from the South American cinchona tree is steeped in Barolo and then flavored with a variety of ingredients, depending on the producer's unique recipe. Some common ingredients include cinnamon, coriander, iris flowers, mint and vanilla. The resulting beverage is very aromatic and smooth.
