Pira e Figli – Chiara Boschis Barolo Cannubi 2020 in double magnum (3 L) captures the elegance and finesse that have made Cannubi legendary, while reflecting the added texture and warmth of the vintage. This is a finely detailed, yet structured Barolo where pristine fruit meets vibrant freshness, bottled in a large format ideal for long aging and special occasions. With only around 4,000 bottles produced in total, this is a highly limited wine that showcases the best of modern Barolo craft on one of its greatest hillsides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2020 Cannubi shows a radiant, medium ruby garnet hue with the characteristic Nebbiolo translucence, hinting at both finesse and concentration. The nose is notably pure and lifted, with dark cherry and blackcurrant leading the way, wrapped in notes of rose petals, crushed violet, pink peppercorn and a delicate mineral edge reminiscent of white chalk and limestone dust.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is fine-boned yet assertive, with that slightly more grainy, tactile tannin profile that the warm 2020 vintage brings. The fruit is exceptionally clean and precise, with crisp, ripe dark cherry, wild berries and subtle blood orange zest interplaying with floral and spicy tones. Despite the warmth of the year, the freshness is striking: acidity is vibrant and mouthwatering, keeping the fruit juicy and lively right through to the long, graceful finish. The structure, concentration and large-format bottling suggest excellent aging potential; this 2020 should evolve beautifully over 15–25 years, gaining complexity, silkier tannins and more pronounced truffle, tar and dried rose notes with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCannubi is one of Barolo’s most historic and revered vineyards, a south- to southeast-facing ridge where sandstone, marl and pockets of calcareous white limestone create wines of both fragrance and depth. The combination of altitude, exposure and well-drained soils gives Nebbiolo its hallmark aromatic lift and finesse. Chiara Boschis works organically in the vineyards, harvesting by hand to ensure only perfectly ripe, healthy grapes are selected, especially important in a warm vintage like 2020. In the cellar, the fruit is gently destemmed and undergoes a careful, temperature-controlled fermentation and maceration to extract fine tannins and aromatic complexity without heaviness. The wine is then aged in carefully selected oak—often a mix of barriques and larger formats—allowing the Cannubi character to shine through, with oak playing a supporting, not dominant, role.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Barolo Cannubi is a natural partner for refined, earthy dishes: try it with tajarin pasta and white truffle, braised veal shank, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, game birds, or rich mushroom preparations with Parmigiano Reggiano. It also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses and truffle-infused dishes. Serve at 16–18°C (around 60–64°F). Given its youth and structure, decanting is recommended—at least 1–2 hours for early drinking—to allow the bouquet to open and the tannins to soften; in a few years, a shorter decant will be sufficient to fully reveal its aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eE. Pira e Figli is one of Barolo’s historic names, brought into the modern era by the visionary and highly respected Chiara Boschis. Taking over the estate in the late 1980s, Chiara became one of the first women to lead a Barolo winery and quickly established herself as a benchmark producer in Barolo, particularly in crus like Cannubi. She was an early adopter of meticulous vineyard work and sustainable, organic practices, helping to redefine the region’s quality standards while maintaining respect for tradition. Today, E. Pira e Figli – Chiara Boschis is regarded as a reference point in Barolo, consistently earning top critical acclaim for wines that combine precision, elegance and depth, and that faithfully express the character of their exceptional terroirs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"E.
