Infuse the Ingredients
In a large glass jar, combine the Barolo wine, granulated sugar, cinchona bark, coriander seeds, cardamom pods, star anise, cloves, orange zest, and vanilla bean (split open). Seal the jar tightly and let it steep in a cool, dark place for about 2 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days.

Strain the Mixture

Bottle and Age
Transfer the mixture into bottles. Seal them tightly and allow the Barolo Chinato to age for at least 1 month before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
