CHINATO
❝ Chinato wine had its beginnings around 1800 with a pharmacist’s recipe for an antimalarial liniment made with the powerful antipyretic cinchona.
A mixture of spices and aromatic herbs was designed to attenuate the strong,
bitter taste of the cinchona.
Over the years from antidote for various diseases it became
an after dinner digestive to sip at
