E. Pira & Figli (Chiara Boschis) Mosconi, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2020
Chiara Boschis is widely recognized as one of the pioneer women winemakers in Barolo, though her family has a long (nine generations) history of winemaking. In 1980, the Boschis family (of Giacomo Borgogno e Figli) acquired the E.Pira & Figli estate, thus procuring some of the most prestigious land in Barolo. After graduating with a degree in Economics, Chiara became involved full-time in the family business, following her own great passion for the world of wine. She officially took the reins in 1990, quickly affirming her position as the “Barolo Girl.” Her unique combination of dedication, charm, patience and determination was key in raising the quality and the image of the E. Pira & Figli winery to that which it enjoys today.
"The E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2020 Barolo Mosconi has some of the extra ripeness of the vintage with cherry cream syrup, grenadine, watermelon candy and a drop of Pastis. The wine ends on a powerful note with a balanced combination of fruit and fine oak tannins. The palate is very alive, and the fruit feels very vibrant at this young stage." Wine Advocate 96
