Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis Barolo Mosconi 2019 MG","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom one of Barolo’s most respected modern artisans, the E. Pira e Figli – Chiara Boschis Barolo Mosconi 2019 in magnum format (1.5 L) is the most powerful and brooding of her single-vineyard trio. Sourced from the renowned Mosconi cru in Monforte d’Alba and bottled under the full moon in August, it marries depth and structure with remarkable precision and poise. This is a collector-worthy Barolo that showcases the darker, more intense side of Nebbiolo while remaining impeccably balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2019 Mosconi shows a deep, vibrant garnet core with a luminous rim, hinting at both concentration and freshness. The nose opens with dark fruits—black cherry, black plum and wild berries—interwoven with notes of licorice, black tea, graphite and pencil shavings, along with nuances of violets, sweet spice and a faint hint of underbrush.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is full-bodied and authoritative yet finely detailed. Ripe black cherry and blackberry are layered with cocoa powder, star anise, tobacco leaf and crushed stone, all carried by a precise, vertical acidity. The tannins are firm, tightly knit and impressively refined, giving the wine a commanding structure without feeling harsh. This 2019 Mosconi is built for the long haul and will reward patience; it can be enjoyed now with substantial aeration but will truly shine after a decade or more. Expect a drinking window of 2028–2045 and beyond, especially in this magnum format which naturally slows the evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mosconi vineyard lies in Monforte d’Alba, one of Barolo’s warmest and most powerful communes, where steep, well-drained slopes and predominantly calcareous clay-marl soils give Nebbiolo its hallmark structure, depth and dark fruit profile. Grapes are carefully hand-harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve both intensity and aromatic lift. In the cellar, Chiara Boschis employs a meticulous, quality-driven approach, combining traditional Barolo methods with modern precision: gentle destemming, temperature-controlled fermentation and long maceration to extract fine tannins and complex aromatics. The wine is then aged in carefully selected oak (often a mix with a strong focus on finesse rather than overt wood), allowing the cru character of Mosconi to take center stage before bottling, in this case timed with the full moon to align with the winery’s low-intervention, nature-respecting philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis powerful Barolo Mosconi is a natural match for rich, savory dishes such as braised beef short ribs, osso buco, slow-cooked lamb shanks, or classic Piemontese specialties like brasato al Barolo and tajarin with truffle. It also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses (Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino, mature Comté) and game birds with earthy accompaniments like mushrooms or polenta. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to highlight its aromatics and structure. Given its youth and concentration, decant for at least 2–3 hours if drinking now—especially from magnum—to allow the tannins to soften and the layered bouquet of dark fruit, spice and mineral notes to fully open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eE.
