Pira \u0026 Figli (Chiara Boschis) Barolo Mosconi 2021","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhen legendary vigneron Luigi \"Gigi\" Pira died in 1980 with no heirs, the historic estate passed to the Boschis family, owners of the equally storied Giacomo Borgogno house — and it was Chiara Boschis, still in college at the time, who took over management in 1990 and quietly transformed the property into one of Barolo's most respected modern estates. Her Cannubi bottling made her name, but when a plot in the equally celebrated Mosconi cru of Monforte d'Alba became available, she leapt at the opportunity to add a second, deliberately contrasting single-vineyard wine to her range. Where Cannubi's sandy clay gives floral delicacy, Mosconi sits on heavy, iron-rich clay soil high in calcium carbonate — earning it the nickname \"the masculine counterpoint\" to Cannubi's elegance, made from organically farmed Michel and Lampia clones on vines averaging fifty to eighty years old, at around 370–400 metres, south-facing. The wine is fermented for two weeks and aged some 24 months in lightly toasted French oak (a careful mix of new and used barrels), with a further year in bottle before release, all under the estate's certified organic farming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe result is deliberately broad and muscular — the Titan to Cannubi's grace: black cherry, gravel, dried herb, and leather meet dusty earth, anise, and dried rose, with critics repeatedly noting a savoury, almost briary intensity underpinned by powerful, persistent tannins. It's a wine built for real patience — brooding and structured on release, with critics scoring recent vintages as high as 96–98 points (Decanter, Jeb Dunnuck), and drinking windows stretching well into the following decade. Pour it with braised short rib, wild boar, or a rich mushroom ragù, and give it real time in the cellar; this is Chiara Boschis's most powerful statement, proof that the same meticulous hand behind Cannubi's finesse can produce something entirely different in character just a few kilometres away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"E.
