E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis Langhe Nebbiolo, Piedmont, Italy 2022

Langhe Nebbiolo 2022 is a beautifully refined introduction to the elegant, terroir-driven style of acclaimed winemaker Chiara Boschis. Sourced from younger vines and select parcels in and around Barolo, this wine captures the perfume and structure that make Nebbiolo one of Italy's most captivating grape varieties, while offering an approachable, youthful expression. The warm yet balanced 2022 vintage opens with enticing aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, rose petals, red cherry, orange peel, and subtle notes of licorice, crushed herbs, and spice. On the palate, it is vibrant and silky, with bright acidity, fine-grained tannins, and impressive depth supported by a mineral-driven core. While delicious in its youth, it possesses the balance and complexity to evolve gracefully over the next several years. Elegant, expressive, and remarkably versatile at the table, this is Langhe Nebbiolo at its finest and an outstanding value from one of Barolo's most respected estates.

" The 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo is a brilliant ruby hue and is highly charming on the nose, with aromas of ripe raspberries and floral, sweetly perfumed notes. The palate has ripe tannins and is medium-bodied, with a clean and approachable, pure feel throughout. It a lot of clarity and is a gorgeous wine that’s going to drink well any time over the next 6-7 years, but I love this for its freshness." Jeb Dunnuck 90
