Chiara Boschis - The First Lady of Barolo

by Hugh French | Sep 05, 2024

 

 

"Chiara Boschis's enthusiasm seems to know no bound... Given the explosion in prices for so many top Barolos, I am often asked who are the next set of producers that will reach superstar status. Well, Chiara Boschis is one of them."
Antonio Galloni, vinous.com

 

E. Pira & Figli

By now, those in the know will concur that Chiara Boschis's incredible work at E. Pira & Figli will certainly position her in the upper reaches of Piedmont's winemaking talent. After purchasing the estate in 1981, she now works closely with her brother Giorgio, who ran the Borgongo before the family decided to sell the winery.

As leading lights in the 'modernist' Barolo movement, Chiara and Giorgio's wines are a testament to their deft lightness of touch, supreme elegance, and balance. Despite spending much of elevage in small French barriques, their wines show a remarkable level of restraint. Today, we are thrilled to offer you the latest Chiara Boschis release. With production for some of these wines (the Baroli in particular) down as much as 40%, we encourage you to order yours now before they disappear.

2023 Dolcetto d'Alba DOC

Usually $67

Special Offer $62

92 Points

"The 2023 Dolcetto D'Alba was scheduled to bottled soon after I tasted it. A youthful purple/magenta color, it was spicy out of barrel, with a lovely lift of cracked pepper, fresh black raspberries, and purple flowers. It has good structure for this vintage, with medium body and snappy, fresh acidity. Drink it over the next several years. "

2022 Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC

Usually $99

Special Offer $92

91 Points

"Magenta with a purple tinge, the 2022 Barbera D'Alba is fresh with notes of wet stones, plummy fruit, and fresh lavender. The 2021 is more snappy, but the 2022 is a fruitier vintage, with medium body, a velvety texture, good richness, ripe tannins, and a rounded feel. It has a lot of immediate appeal and casts a large net."

89-91 Points

"The 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo was tasted from barrel and boasts a similarly improved youthful magenta color, with fresh blackberries and effusive fruit aromas. On the palate, it shows riper structure, more grip at this stage, and a broader profile."

2020 Barolo 'Via Nuova' DOCG

 

Usually $259

Special Offer $234

97 Points

"The 2020 Via Nuova is a very seductive vintage with a lot of elegance, revealing lovely, lifted aromas of licorice, fresh raspberries, sweet tea leaf, and lilac. Medium-bodied, the wine is approachable and elegant all the way through, with refined tannins, refreshing acidity, and a long, even finish. It has a hint of warmth but is well-balanced. This beautiful red feels seamless and harmonious out of the gate and is going to drink well for the next 10 -15 years."

96 Points

"The E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2020 Barolo Mosconi has some of the extra ripeness of the vintage with cherry cream syrup, grenadine, watermelon candy and a drop of Pastis. The wine ends on a powerful note with a balanced combination of fruit and fine oak tannins. The palate is very alive, and the fruit feels very vibrant at this young stage."

2020 Barolo 'Cannubi' DOCG

 

Usually $399

Special Offer $369

97 Points

"The E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2020 Barolo Cannubi is a fine and delicate wine, although there is a little more grit and richness in this warm vintage. The quality of the fruit is exceptional, especially its crisp ripeness. Dark cherry, blackcurrant, rose blossom, pink pepper and white limestone add considerable high-toned notes. The freshness is great and the fruit stays juicy, fueling a long, elegant finish. Only 4,000 bottles were made."

Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
