and Cardamom

The Fichet family has been farming vines around Ige since 1408

but with a backbone of bitter sweet chocolate and snappy oak

Mount Langi Ghiran has been crafting iconic cool-climate wines since 1969

Pio Cesare Barolo Chinato PURYEAR and CardamomBarolo Chinato exists in the liminal space between wine and digestifa resurrected tradition that Pio Cesare revived after a 60 year hiatus. Barolo, infused with chinchona barks and aromatic herbs (gentian, rhubarb, cardamom, orange, cinnamon), emerges as dark amber alchemy rich as Christmas cake. Mountain herbs, cinnamon, molasses, and a spray of orange zest create an experience both comforting and revelatory. The wine to pour as evening descends.
