"The new road". This was once a small vineyard on the edge of the historic centre of Barolo, named after the road that connected Barolo with Novello and was actually new at the time. Today, all that remains of this path is a narrow footpath through the vineyards. When the cru vineyard was incorporated into the larger Terlo subzone in 2010, Chiara Boschis could have simply abandoned the name. Instead, she turned it into an idea: Via Nuova was rethought – as an assemblage of six parcels that represent the entire Barolo region in one wine.

Terlo and Liste in Barolo. Ravera di Monforte and Mosconi in Monforte d'Alba. Gabutti and Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba. Three communes, three soil profiles, three characters – all organically farmed, all treated with the same care as the individual vineyards of the estate. 2.5 hectares in total, around 340 metres above sea level, south-eastern exposure.

The elegance of Barolo, the power of Monforte, the minerality of Serralunga – come together in a wine that, according to Antonio Galloni, is the firmest of the entire Chiara-Boschis-Barolo range. Via Nuova needs a little time to open – and then it unfolds: dark cherry, plum, pomegranate, lavender, menthol, herbs, black tea. Precise and layered on the palate, carried by lively acidity and firm, fine tannins, with a long, balsamic, salty-mineral final. A wine that carries history – and at the same time tells its own story. SUPERIORE.DE
