It might not taste of "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens" but after this cocktail you won't feel so bad. It is a delicious aperitivo or digestivo

Definitely improved as it warmed and diluted a little. Reminiscent (unsurprisingly) of a rye boulevardier. Well balanced with some really lovely notes from the Chinato.

Any thoughts on a work-around for the chinato? I don't think it's made it to Seattle yet. At least not where I've looked.

I’d prob go Cocchi dopo Teatro, tho the herbal and bitter wormwood is less. The Chinato Ive got is very noticeably Italian-style dry red wine up front, but also super full bodied. I put it through an aerator it was beautifully silky. Yeah, I had to get it online and there was just the one brand available. My palate matched Simon’s description mancino pretty much exactly. Hope that helps.
