2015 | E. Pira & Figli | Chiara Boschis Barolo Mosconi

Clear and lively garnet red color. Aromatic depth here, drawing you in with cascading layers of flowers and leaves, fresh-tilled earth laced with woody spices, white pepper and fresh red fruit. The palate carries a very sturdy frame of fine, dense tannins. This is placed in the top league of 2015 Barolo wines. Long and succulent build through the finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: All of the wines from Chiara Boschis are more vinous this year, more natural. They feel authentic, genuine and traditional. They show an extra degree of richness or texture, and the 2015 Barolo Mosconi is no exception. Its dark and spicy notes are very polished and graceful in this vintage .

Producer Information

E. Pira & Figli (Chiari Boschis) is a small wine estate in the Italian subregion of Barolo. It produces a range of single-vineyard Nebbiolo wines from several of the Barolo crus, as well as a Barbera d'Alba and a Dolcetto d'Alba. The original estate consisted of just 2.5 hectares (6 acres) of vineyards – mostly in the Cannubi and Cannnubi San Lorenzo cru vineyards. These two vineyards supply fruit for the estate's Barolo Cannubi wine and its Barbera d'Alba. The remaining half-hectare is in Via Nuova (on the Terlo hill), providing grapes for another single-vineyard Barolo. In 2009, the estate acquired a 4 ha (10 acre) property at Conterni in Monforte d'Alba. This vineyard is planted with younger vines that are eventually destined for Barolo, but for now are vinified as Langhe Nebbiolo. It also provides fruit for the Dolcetto d'Alba. The E. Pira & Figli winery is located on a square in the town of Barolo. Grapes are fermented in temperature-regulated stainless steel tanks with automated punch-downs. Barolos spend two years barrel-aging in new French barriques, followed by a year in bottle before release whilst the Barbera spends 18 months in second-use oak, and the Dolcetto matures in third-use wood for eight months. The name of the current owner-winemaker, Chiara Boschis, features prominently on the label of E. Pira & Figli's wine labels. This is to reduce any chance of confusion with the other Barolo producers Pira and Pira Luigi.
