Pira e Figli – Chiara Boschis Barolo Cannubi 2018 in Jeroboam (5 L) captures the soul of the famed Cannubi hill in a truly celebratory format. This certified organic Nebbiolo is drawn from less than a single hectare of old calcareous clay soils, yielding a wine of striking finesse, lifted aromatics and profound depth. With only 3,594 bottles produced in total, this is a rare, collector-worthy Barolo from one of the vintage’s standout wines.\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 brick-red highlights at the rim, typical of fine Nebbiolo even in its youth. The nose is refined and expressive, opening with wild red berries and Morello cherry, followed by notes of rose petals, dried lilac, and a whisper of violet. Subtle earthy nuances emerge with air – white truffle, forest floor, and delicate spice – all layered with a gentle mineral impression that speaks of Cannubi’s limestone-rich soils.\n\nOn the palate, this Barolo is both ethereal and precise, with a medium to full body carried by vibrant acidity and finely etched tannins. Flavors of red currant, sour cherry and pomegranate weave together with hints of dried herbs, tea leaf, and sweet spices, leading into a long, savory and floral finish. The 2018 vintage gives this wine an inviting openness in its youth, yet the structure is clearly in place for long-term cellaring. In Jeroboam format, you can expect particularly graceful evolution, with a drinking window comfortably stretching 15–25 years from vintage, gaining complexity, tertiary notes and silky texture over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit for this Barolo comes from Chiara Boschis’ tiny holding of just under one hectare in the legendary Cannubi MGA, one of Barolo’s most historic and revered crus. Here, Miocene-era calcareous clay soils and ideal south to southeast exposures create a unique balance of power and elegance. The vineyard is farmed organically (certified), with meticulous, low-yield viticulture and careful hand harvesting to ensure only perfectly ripe Nebbiolo grapes make it to the winery. In the cellar, Chiara follows a thoughtful, traditional-leaning approach with a modern sensitivity: gentle fermentation and maceration to extract fine tannins and aromatic complexity, followed by extended aging in carefully selected oak and bottle to harmonize structure and fragrance. The Jeroboam format is bottled and matured with special care, designed for long aging and grand table occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Barolo Cannubi is a natural partner for refined, savory dishes that echo its earthy and floral complexity. Think veal or beef tagliata, braised short ribs, roasted game birds, fresh egg tajarin with butter and white truffle, or mushroom-based risottos and aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or old Pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C (around 60–64°F); in a large-format bottle like a Jeroboam, allow extra time for the wine to come up to temperature. Decanting for 1–3 hours is recommended in its youth to allow the bouquet to unfurl and the tannins to soften, with shorter decanting needed as the wine gains bottle age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eE.
