Corochinato, the aperitif that tells the story of Genoa
The essence of Liguria in an aromatic white wine
From herbs to the caruggi: a journey through the flavors of La Superba
Created in 1886, Corochinato is a flavored wine with a blend of 18 herbs and bark. It has been owned by the Allara family for over 30 years. Its unique flavor profile combines the scent of the Ligurian scrubland with the freshness of the sea. It has bitter notes and a smooth finish that will win you over at first sip.
Enjoy it chilled, neat, or with a twist of lemon—perfect when paired with focaccia or to enhance bold cocktails. It is the aperitif for those who cherish authentic gestures, genuine flavors, and traditions evolving gracefully.
A daily sip of tradition
Each bottle is an aromatic map of Genoa, capturing scents of herbs and the warm glow of sunset over the port
More than just a drink, it is a recurring, renewing ritual: opening a bottle of Corochinato means evoking Genoa with all the senses. The balanced taste, the green and golden hues, and the iconic donkey label transform each aperitif into an experience.
Every ingredient is carefully selected, every infusion respects the historical recipe. Behind each glass lies generations of craftsmanship, a profound love for the land, and the desire to preserve—with simplicity and respect—a tradition belonging to Genoa and those who adore it.
An authentic flavor inspiring new pairings
Corochinato pairs beautifully with diverse dishes—from Taggiasca olives to Ligurian savory tarts, fresh cheeses to dark chocolate, its aromatic profile complements every taste. It also makes an ideal base for contemporary cocktails or a secret ingredient in fine pastries.
Not just rooted in tradition, Corochinato also embodies versatility: it speaks of Genoa but invites reinterpretation in every kitchen, at every table, on every occasion where authenticity makes a difference.
