Cappellano Barolo Chinato

It was towards the end of the 19th century when Giuseppe Cappellano, a pharmacist from Serralunga d’Alba with a shop in Turin, perfected the original recipe for Barolo Chinato, proposing as a ‘medicamentoso lenimento e antimalarico’ (medicinal and anti-malarial remedy) what would soon become one of the classics of Italian oenology. We speak of a recipe and not of a formula because this great aromatic meditation wine is the child of artisanal wisdom, handed down in our family from generation to generation, which has much to do with knowledge of the land and peasant culture.
