Aromatised wine, made by adding sugar and ethyl alcohol to Barolo DOCG, in which various spices have previously been slowly macerated (for 40 days) at room temperature, giving it a bitter-sweet taste. Its fame for its digestive and eupeptic properties comes from the not too distant past. Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers used to enjoy its delicious aromatic qualities from a still-warm coffee cup.
