Giacomo Borgogno

Everything starts from an ancient and secret recipe of Casa Borgogno, which originates in the 1920s. We start with the wine, Barolo DOCG. Meanwhile, in order to produce this aromatized wine, an infusion of 46 aromatic herbs (some grinded, some roughly broken-up, some other crumbled), is put in maceration into hydroalcoholic solutions, from 35 to 70 days. From the most common aromas such as vanilla, cloves, gentian, rhubarb, to the more uncommon sandal, cardamom, calamus, mace. Protagonist of this aromatized wine is obviously the quinine (China) from the Cinchona tree bark, of which we use two different varieties: Calisaya, Soccirubra. …
