E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis Cannubi, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2021 3L

‘Chiara Boschis’ Cannubi Barolo DOCG 2021, Piedmont, Italy — 3L Double Magnum

A spectacular large-format Barolo from Chiara Boschis, one of the most respected names in modern Piedmont. Sourced from a tiny, organically farmed parcel in the legendary Cannubi cru, this exceptional 2021 captures Nebbiolo at its most refined and expressive. Aromas of wild raspberry, ripe cherry and rose petal unfold into layers of violet, mint, blood orange, sweet spice and crushed stone. The palate is beautifully precise, combining silky, finely grained tannins with vibrant acidity, remarkable depth and a long, saline mineral finish. This is a benchmark expression of Cannubi from an outstanding vintage. Produced in extremely limited quantities, the 3-liter double magnum makes an extraordinary centerpiece for a serious collection or a landmark celebration. A rare opportunity to secure one of Barolo’s most compelling single-vineyard wines in an impressive format built for long-term aging.

"This is a phenomenal wine that highlights the hard work and expertise of Chiara Boschis and her brother Giorgio. The E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2021 Barolo Cannubi is made with organic Nebbiolo clones of Michet and Lampia planted in a tiny 0.7-hectare plot at 300 meters above sea level on the powdery white limestone soils from the Miocene epoch that characterize this celebrated cru. The wine is refined and delicate with rose hip, violet and pure cherry essence. The aromas are stacked with soaring vertical intensity, and they give this wine an especially bright and lifted bouquet. The mouthfeel outperforms most of its peers thanks to its tight and silky essence and the clean powdery feel of its tannins. The Cannubi is showing very nicely now, but the Mosconi could benefit from more time in bottle." Wine Advocate 98
