Why shop with us?
Pira Chiara Boschis Barbera d'Alba Superiore 2023 is a polished expression of Barbera from one of Piedmont’s most respected names. Made from estate-grown fruit and matured in wood for around a year, it combines the grape’s natural vibrancy with impressive structure and elegance.
Tasting Notes
Expect a vivid ruby-red color with youthful brightness in the glass. On the nose, it typically shows fresh red and dark berries, with subtle spice and the refined touch of oak.
The palate is lively and generous, with Barbera’s hallmark freshness, juicy fruit, and a supple yet structured finish. The helvetian soils lend extra depth and elegance, while the year of barrel aging softens the edges and adds complexity. This wine should drink beautifully now, and it will also gain further nuance over the next few years.
Production
The wine comes from the estate’s own vineyards in Piedmont, planted on helvetian soils known for giving wines added structure and finesse. The grapes are vinified from Barbera harvested from these vineyards, then refined in wood for approximately one year to build texture, balance, and aromatic depth.
Food & Serving
This Barbera d'Alba Superiore is a natural match for rich pasta dishes, roasted poultry, grilled meats, and mushroom-based dishes. It also works well with aged cheeses and Piedmont-inspired cuisine. Serve slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and consider a brief decant if opening it young.
