Pira e Figli – Chiara Boschis Barolo Cannubi 2018 in the impressive 3L Double Magnum format is a textbook expression of great Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most legendary vineyards. Certified organic and produced in tiny quantities, it combines purity of fruit with a remarkable sense of place. Sourced from less than one hectare in the historic Cannubi MGA, this is widely regarded as one of the standout wines of the vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2018 Barolo Cannubi shows a luminous garnet core with delicate brick-hued reflections at the rim, already hinting at its Nebbiolo pedigree. The nose opens with a classical Cannubi profile: wild red berries, dried rose petals and violet, followed by nuances of dried lilac, licorice, subtle spice and an earthy whisper of white truffle. As it unfolds, you’ll find hints of orange zest, tobacco leaf and a fine mineral dustiness that speaks clearly of its calcareous soils.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is elegant yet authoritative, with lifted red cherry and raspberry fruit framed by vibrant acidity and finely etched, chalky tannins. The floral character reappears on the mid-palate, adding lift and delicacy to the wine’s firm structure, while savory notes of leather, underbrush and tea leaf add depth. The finish is long, precise and mineral-driven, suggesting excellent aging potential. While already approachable with proper aeration, this 2018 Cannubi will reward patience and can comfortably evolve and gain complexity over 12–20 years in a cool cellar, with the 3L format offering even greater longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Barolo hails from the famed Cannubi MGA in Barolo, a south- to southwest-facing hillside known for its old Miocene-era calcareous clay soils that yield wines of finesse, perfume and longevity. Chiara Boschis farms less than one hectare here, working entirely organically and by hand on the steep slopes to maintain low yields and perfect fruit ripeness. Grapes are harvested manually at optimal maturity, carefully sorted, and then vinified traditionally with extended maceration to gently extract color, tannin and aromatics from Nebbiolo. Fermentation and élevage combine a respectful nod to tradition with precise, modern hygiene and control, preserving the purity of fruit and the floral, mineral character that defines Cannubi. The result is a tightly allocated wine, with total production limited to just 3,594 bottles across all formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Barolo Cannubi is a natural partner for refined, earthy dishes: think truffle risotto, tajarin pasta with butter and shaved white truffle, braised veal cheeks, game birds, or slow-cooked lamb with rosemary and root vegetables. Mature cheeses such as aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, Castelmagno or other firm, nutty alpine cheeses also make superb companions. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) in large Burgundy or Barolo glasses to allow the aromatics to unfurl. Given its youth and structure, decanting is strongly recommended—at least 1–2 hours for current drinking, and even longer for those who prefer a more open, velvety expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eE.
