Pira e Figli – Chiara Boschis Barolo Cannubi 2019 in magnum format (1.5 L) is a benchmark expression of one of Barolo’s most legendary vineyards. Sourced from the steep, powdery slopes of Cannubi, this wine combines depth, precision and an almost sculpted sense of detail. In the 2019 vintage, Chiara Boschis describes Cannubi as the epitome of Nebbiolo’s finesse – a style that bridges the elegance of 2016 with the ripeness and generosity of 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2019 Barolo Cannubi shows a luminous, garnet core that lightens toward an orange-tinged rim, classic for young, top-tier Nebbiolo. The nose is finely etched and three-dimensional, with high-toned aromas of sour cherry, redcurrant and wild strawberry layered over blue flowers, rose petals and violets. Underneath lie notes of chalky stone, licorice, dried herbs and a subtle spice that speaks more of grape and soil than of oak.\n\nOn the palate, this Cannubi is both filigreed and intense: vibrant red fruit, blood orange zest and pomegranate are wrapped in ultra-fine, powdery tannins that mirror the vineyard’s sandy, pulverized soils. The wine feels taut yet complete, with a spine of fresh acidity that carries flavors of floral tea, sweet tobacco, and crushed rock through a long, precise finish. The 2019 vintage reached excellent phenolic ripeness, so the tannins are refined rather than rustic, promising graceful evolution over 15–25 years or more in magnum, with the larger format further extending its aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCannubi is one of Barolo’s most historic and revered crus, a south to southeast-facing ridge above Barolo village, characterized by a unique mix of sandstone, marl and sandy, powder-fine soils that give wines of perfume and finesse. The steep slopes are notoriously demanding to work, and Chiara Boschis farms them by hand with meticulous attention and a strong commitment to sustainable, low-impact viticulture. Harvest is done manually in small crates, with strict selection in the vineyard and at the winery to ensure only perfectly ripe Nebbiolo grapes are used. Fermentation typically takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel with extended maceration on the skins to capture color, aroma and tannin in a refined, integrated way, followed by aging in carefully chosen oak (predominantly small barrels of subtle influence) before a final rest in bottle to harmonize the wine prior to release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Barolo Cannubi is an outstanding partner for refined, earthy cuisine: think truffle risotto, tajarin pasta with butter and sage, braised veal shank, roasted lamb, or game birds with mushrooms. It also pairs beautifully with mature hard cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano or aged Pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C (61–64°F), ideally after allowing the bottle to come slowly to temperature. In magnum, decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended in its youth to let the nose fully open and the tannins relax; as the wine gains bottle age, a slightly shorter decant will suffice, primarily to remove any sediment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eE.
