AboutChinati Vergano
Mauro Vergano trained in chemistry, winemaking and viticulture, then spent fifteen years working with flavours and fragrances. Experiments with small batches of chinato in the late 1970s grew from a hobby into Chinati Vergano, a small aromatized-wine house in Asti. Mauro retired in 2019, handing the family business to his nephews Tommaso and Pietro.
Production remains small, using wines bought from grower friends as the base for chinato, Americano and vermouth. Herbs, spices and citrus are chosen to suit each recipe.
Chinati Vergano × Clos du Tue-Boeuf Sec 2000 Vermouth
Italian Fortified
Fresh citron peel, elderflower and acacia blossom open a precise, highly aromatic nose. Raspberry adds a delicate fruit note, while fig leaf and peach kernel bring green, almond-like depth. The palate is dry and lightly sweetened, with wormwood and peppercorn shaping a firm botanical bitterness around the fresh seasonal ingredients. A clear wine core keeps the texture lively and integrated. Serve lightly chilled over ice, with soda, or as an expressive dry-vermouth component in a Martini.
