E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis Barolo Mosconi 2020 MG

E. Pira e Figli – Chiara Boschis Barolo Mosconi 2020 in magnum format (1.5 L) is a beautifully expressive Barolo from one of Monforte d’Alba’s most revered crus. This wine captures the extra ripeness and generosity of the 2020 vintage while staying true to Chiara Boschis’ trademark finesse and precision. Bottled in magnum for slower evolution and added complexity, it’s a Barolo built for both contemplation and the cellar.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2020 Barolo Mosconi shows a deep, luminous garnet core with youthful ruby highlights at the rim, indicating both concentration and freshness. The nose is immediately seductive, with notes of cherry syrup, grenadine and ripe red berries layered over watermelon candy, hints of anise and Pastis, and delicate floral tones of rose and violet. Subtle undertones of sweet spice, cedar and a touch of licorice emerge with air, giving the bouquet both charm and depth. On the palate, the wine is vibrant, energetic and finely structured. The generous red fruit mirrors the nose—sour cherry, pomegranate and red currant—wrapped around a core of savory spice and mineral grip. The tannins are fine-grained yet firm, reflecting both Nebbiolo and the Mosconi terroir, and they’re beautifully integrated with the oak, which provides polish rather than heaviness. The finish is long and powerful, with a balanced interplay of ripe fruit, acidity and refined tannins. Still very much in its youth, this 2020 magnum has excellent aging potential; expect it to evolve gracefully over 15–25 years, gaining complexity, truffle notes and deeper tertiary nuances.

Production
Sourced from the esteemed Mosconi cru in Monforte d’Alba, this Barolo comes from vineyards rooted in clay-limestone soils that give both power and elegance to Nebbiolo. The site’s altitude and exposure ensure good ripening while preserving acidity and aromatic lift. Grapes are carefully hand-harvested at optimal maturity to capture the vintage’s natural richness while maintaining balance. In the cellar, Chiara Boschis follows a meticulous, quality-focused approach: gentle crushing, extended maceration on the skins to extract fine tannins and aromatic depth, and fermentation in temperature-controlled vessels. The wine is then aged in carefully selected oak, where it gains structure and complexity without losing its purity of fruit, before being bottled in magnum to encourage a slower, more nuanced evolution.

Food & Serving
This Barolo Mosconi 2020 is a natural match for rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, ossobuco, slow-cooked lamb shanks, game birds, and dishes featuring truffles or wild mushrooms. It also shines alongside aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or mature Pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) for optimal expression. Given its youth and structure, decanting is recommended—at least 1–2 hours for near-term enjoyment, and even longer if opened within its first decade, to allow the tannins to soften and the layered aromatics to fully unfold.
