The key is harmony between the bitter and the sweet. If it’s off, they can be cloying or they can be overly herbal and a little mean. Alan’s ticks all the boxes, with a lovely and almost weightless interplay. Like the Colonel’s secret herbs and spices, Chinato is usually made to a strict secret family recipe, one that is often handed down through the generations. Alan has been able to fast track this using his various contacts throughout the Langhe to create his own recipe in record time. If you haven’t tried Chinato, you should; and if you love Chinato, don’t miss out on this one!
