Pira e Figli – Chiara Boschis is a statuesque expression of modern Barolo elegance. This vintage leans into darker fruit and riper berries, wrapped in a compact core of layered aromatics and finely polished structure. Via Nuova is a multi-cru Barolo that has become a benchmark for the estate, marrying traditional Nebbiolo character with Chiara Boschis’ precise, contemporary touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2020 Via Nuova shows a vibrant, deep garnet hue with youthful ruby highlights typical of Nebbiolo in its early years. The nose opens slowly but decisively, revealing dark cherry and wild berry alongside lifted notes of candied orange peel, violet, spring blossom, and a gentle floral perfume. Subtle nuances of herbs, tar, and chalky mineral add complexity as the wine unwinds in the glass.\n\nOn the palate, this Barolo is tightly knit yet already remarkably refined, with a core of red and dark cherries, raspberry, and plum woven with hints of blood orange, licorice, and dried roses. The tannins are beautifully polished and supple—firm enough to promise longevity, but silkier than many traditional Baroli. There is a clear line of freshness that keeps the wine precise and energetic, while a persistent, mineral-driven finish lingers with notes of spice and flowers. While accessible with sufficient air now, this 2020 has the structure and balance to evolve gracefully for 12–20 years in a proper cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVia Nuova is a classic Nebbiolo-based Barolo from multiple high-quality crus around Barolo, capturing the varied terroirs of Piedmont’s marl and limestone-rich slopes. These sites, with their calcareous clay soils and well-exposed hillsides, give fruit of excellent concentration, aromatic lift, and refined tannins. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, parcel by parcel, to preserve the integrity of the bunches and the purity of the fruit. In the cellar, Chiara Boschis follows a thoughtful mix of tradition and modern precision: careful destemming, temperature-controlled fermentation and maceration to extract fine tannins and aromatic complexity rather than heaviness, followed by aging in oak (predominantly small barrels, often with a judicious use of new wood) to polish the structure without overwhelming the Nebbiolo character. The 2020 Via Nuova is a limited release, with only about 15,000 bottles produced, making this large-format Jeroboam an especially rare collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Barolo shines alongside refined, flavorful dishes such as braised veal or beef, osso buco, lamb shank, truffle risotto, tajarin with butter and white truffle, mushroom-based dishes, and aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or mature Castelmagno. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to highlight its aromatics and finesse. Given both the vintage’s concentration and the large 5L format, decanting is essential: allow at least 2–3 hours in a broad decanter for present drinking, and even longer if served young at a special occasion, to let the dark fruit, floral, and mineral notes fully emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eE. Pira e Figli is one of Barolo’s historic names, rejuvenated and elevated by Chiara Boschis, who took the reins in the late 1980s and quickly became one of the region’s most influential modern voices. Based in the village of Barolo, the estate has been central to the rise in quality and international recognition of the area, thanks to meticulous vineyard work, low yields, and a thoughtful, terroir-focused approach. Chiara, one of the first female winemakers in Barolo, is widely respected for combining sensitivity in the vineyard with precision in the cellar, producing wines that are both powerful and exquisitely refined. Her crus—like Cannubi and the multi-vineyard Via Nuova—are now considered reference points for contemporary Barolo, regularly receiving top scores and coveted by collectors worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"E.
