Amazing work by the team in Charlottetown. Pairings all worked out beautifully, and filled the room with a very fun group of food and wine enthusiasts. Thanks again!

Finally had a chance to visit with last week and what a treat! Seeing the vineyards and tasting the lineup of wines all together adds a lot of context to what she has accomplished the last 20 years (!!!) in Vittoria, Sicily. Amazing wines that are so alive in the glass that they explode on your palate. Nerello just moved up the ladder of my favourite grapes! Thanks for taking time from your busy schedule for the visit and lunch Arianna and team ❤️!!

Barolo Chinato (key-nah-tow) is an ancient Piedmontese digestif made using Barolo Albe DOCG as a base, then infusing it with around 30 herbs, rinds and roots of plants.
It is a flavoured wine, not a fortified wine like Port. This means that most of the alcohol content (18%) and sweetness are due to the herbal and spice infusions in alcohol together with the sugar added to the Barolo. It is deep in colour, with lovely aromatics, and a complex palate.
Chinato is an ideal winter sipper, so get out the dark chocolate, enjoy it on its own, as a digestif, or make a Chinato Spritz with some soda (and Cava if you like).
The bottle will last up to 2 months once open if refrigerated. Available at The Port by while supplies last.
Two weeks, two wine shows, ~500 new wines tasted, many kms walked, even more great meals, laughs and sites seen. Che Piacere!

There’s few times one has a chance to taste good wine with a group like this. What a treasured memory to pop up on my phone and remind me of the night.
