Cocchi Barolo Chinato 16.5% ABV 0.5l online kaufen

Cocchi Barolo Chinato 16.5% ABV 0.5 l is a traditional Italian aromatised wine from Piedmont, which combines the elegance of the famous Barolo DOCG with a carefully balanced blend of selected herbs and spices. The original recipe was developed by Giulio Cocchi, who founded his company in Asti, Piedmont, in 1891 and played a key role in popularising Barolo Chinato. It is based on high-quality Barolo red wine made from the Nebbiolo grape variety, which is refined with a traditional blend of aromatic botanicals. Originally, Barolo Chinato was prized in Piedmont as a fortifying herbal wine and, over time, developed into a significant speciality of the region’s aperitif and digestif culture.


What makes Giulio Cocchi Barolo Chinato so special is its historic recipe, which includes cinchona bark (Cinchona calisaya), rhubarb root, gentian flowers and cardamom seeds. The aromatic components are extracted through slow maceration at room temperature and then blended with the Barolo wine. This traditional production method ensures a harmonious blend of the wine’s original character and the botanical ingredients. Cocchi Barolo Chinato is one of the classic Italian Chinato wines and epitomises the time-honoured production of aromatised wines in Piedmont. With an alcohol content of 16.5% vol. in a 0.5-litre bottle, this speciality is a high-quality blend of Barolo DOCG, a historic herbal recipe and Italian winemaking tradition.

Tasting Note

Colour: Deep ruby red with warm garnet-red highlights.

Nose: Elegant aromas of ripe red fruit, accompanied by spicy cinchona bark, aromatic cardamom and subtle herbal notes. Subtle hints of rhubarb and gentian lend additional depth.

Palate: Full-bodied, harmonious and complex, with a balanced blend of pleasant sweetness and characteristic herbal bitterness. The structure of the Barolo blends with spicy cinchona bark, rhubarb and subtle spicy accents.

Finish: Long-lasting and elegant, with a harmonious balance of sweet wine notes, subtle bitterness and a pleasantly spicy, aromatic aftertaste.

Cocchi Barolo Chinato reveals its complex aromas particularly well when enjoyed neat at room temperature, ideally as an elegant digestif after a special meal. A traditional Piedmontese way of serving it is to serve Barolo Chinato warm with fresh orange zest, which allows the herbal and spicy notes to unfold particularly beautifully. As a culinary accompaniment, high-quality dark chocolate with a high cocoa content is particularly recommended, as its intense bitter notes harmonise superbly with the aromatic sweetness of the Chinato. Chocolate truffles, handmade pralines, hazelnut biscuits or desserts made with dark cocoa also make for excellent pairings. The combination with fine chocolate pralines, as prized in the Italian confectionery tradition, is particularly delightful.
