About this product
A Piedmontese Classic Reborn with Marolo Elegance.
Marolo Barolo Chinato is one of Italy’s most captivating after-dinner traditions — a meeting of fine Barolo wine, aromatic botanicals, and the slow, meticulous craft that defines Piedmont’s heritage. Marolo begins with Barolo from respected vineyards, rich in Nebbiolo’s signature aromas of roses, red berries, and spice. This wine becomes the soul of the Chinato, gently infused with a blend of herbs, roots, and spices including the essential China Calissaia, which gives the category its name.
The infusion process is slow and deliberate, allowing every botanical to weave seamlessly into the wine. The result is a velvety, aromatic elixir balancing sweetness, gentle bitterness, and Barolo’s natural depth. Notes of warm spice, dried citrus peel, cocoa, herbs, and red fruit drift through each sip, creating a sensory experience both comforting and complex.
For lovers of Italian tradition in Ireland, Marolo’s Barolo Chinato is a rare treat — an historic recipe interpreted with modern finesse, perfect for cold evenings, celebrations, or slow, after-dinner moments.
Why we love it:
We love Marolo Barolo Chinato because it captures the essence of Piedmontese tradition while offering a refined, elegant tasting experience. Its blend of Barolo, aromatic botanicals, and gentle sweetness creates a warming, contemplative drink that feels both luxurious and deeply rooted in history. A beautiful companion to dessert or a cosy night in.
