Chinato of Borgogno was born in the first decades of the twentieth century thanks to the creativity of Cesare Borgogno, a passionate herbalist and friend of great producers of Vermouth. A unique product, which in order to be produced requires an excellent base to which sugar, alcohol and an infusion are subsequently added, the recipe of which is strictly kept secret. An element, the latter, obtained from roots, leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits and obviously china for a total of 37 ingredients. The vines used for the formation of the blend are those of Nebbiolo da Barolo for 70% and that of Barbera for 30%.
