Marcarini Chinato
75% Nebbiolo and 25% infusion of aromatic herbs and china bark. Amber-colored with ruby-red reflections; spicy, intense & persistent nose; sweet yet pleasingly bitterish flavors, in particular, the bittersweet taste of China bark that gives it its name.
“Classic is a keyword in the Marcarini philosophy. Ideally poised between traditional and modern, the wines are characterized by both a voluptuous, embracing style and the superb longevity and blockbuster structure of Piedmont’s best.”
