E. Pira & Figli

Reich und fruchtig ist der gut geratene Dolcetto von Chiara Boschis. Violettrot, in der Nase Brombeere, kandierte Kirschen und etwas Pflaumenkompott. Am Gaumen eine weiche Fülle mit wunderbar frischer Säure, sein mittleres Gesicht macht ihn zu einem unverzichtbaren Begleiter leichter Fleischgerichte und Pasta. SUPERIORE.DE

Piras Langhe Nebbiolo ist ein großer, reichhaltiger Wein, der nach dunklen Kirschen, Erdbeeren, Tabak und Gewürzen duftet. Hell und weit am Gaumen der cremige Geschmack mit dem fokussierten Finale. SUPERIORE.DE

"This red is fleshy and inviting. Its cherry, raspberry, floral and mineral flavors are in sync with a lively acidity and refined tannins. It has harmony and charm, with a super finish." Wine Spectator

Leuchtendes intensives Rubin, in der Nase sehr viel frische, konzentrierte Beerenfrucht, sehr elegant, am Gaumen betonte Säure im Ansatz, die dann einem feinen Tannin weicht, lang und saftig im Nachhall. SUPERIORE.DE

Barolo Mosconi zeigt sich wunderschön aromatisch. Elegantes Bouquet aus mineralstoffreichen Kalksteinböden, kraftvoll, reich und saftig am Gaumen, die Tannine gut verwoben, Struktur und Länge vorbildlich. SUPERIORE.DE

"Leuchtendes Rubin mit leicht aufhellendem Rand. Kompakte und dichte Nase, satt nach Brombeeren und dunklen Kirschen, dazu etwas Lakritze und Trüffel. Fest und zupackend am Gaumen, zeigt viel griffiges, dichtes Tannin, dunkle Beerenfrucht, im Finale salzig und lange, nach Leder." Falstaff

"The 2014 Barolo Mosconi is the most robust and structured of the three Barolos. Chiara Bochis believes in making her single-vineyard wines even in a difficult vintage such as this. She rejects the idea of blending all her fruit together to make a single wine. Indeed, her cru wines are very distinct. Each shows its individual characteristics with greater precision, I would argue, in this slender and more ethereal vintage. The 2014 vintage is a natural spring board for highlighting vineyard personalities. This is a cool vintage, but Mosconi surprises the senses for the plump ripeness of its dark fruit favors." Robert Parker

"Plenty of dried berries and herbs. Some meat, woody spices and a wealth of fresh red and pink roses, making this very fragrant. The palate has assertive acid cut and impressive depth. The elegant yet firm tannins hold the red-plum finish long. A great result with real tension." James Suckling

"A mix of cherry, eucalyptus, iron and tobacco aromas and flavors are gripped by dense, dusty tannins. On the darker side, with a kernel of sweet fruit on the finish. Fine intensity." Wine Spectator

"Chiara Boschis’ take on Monforte’s Wagnerian terroir translates it into a minerally, fruit-driven symphony with refined tannins and graceful flavour. This is a brilliant compromise between acidity and sweetness." Decanter

Barolo Mosconi, der erste Wein des Weingutes von diesem südlich gelegenen Standort in Monforte, zeigt sich wunderschön aromatisch. Elegantes Bouquet aus mineralstoffreichen Kalksteinböden, kraftvoll, reich und saftig am Gaumen, die Tannine gut verwoben, Struktur und Länge vorbildlich. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2012 Barolo Mosconi is one of the big surprises of this tasting. This is a gorgeous expression with a deep and enduring sense of balance. The wine offers excellent intensity with black fruit and spice, nicely contrasted against more subtle tones of licorice, red rose and polished river stone. The tannins are firm and tight." Robert Parker

"Very delicate and aromatic with dried flowers and raspberry, blackberry undertones. Full body, yet balanced and very refined. Love the white pepper and berry aftertaste." James Suckling

Barolo aus der gleichnamigen Einzellage Mosconi präsentiert sich kraftvoll, muskulös und voller Opulenz. Reicher Duft nach Eukalyptus, wildem RosmarinPflaume und Schwarzkirsche. Am Gaumen tief und mächtig mit schönen würzigen Akzenten, dichtem Tannin und sehr saftigem Gerüst. Dieser Barolo gehört für uns in die Spitzenklasse der Appellation, er trägt sein großes Gewicht mit Eleganz und ist dabei höchst authentisch, dabei ganz im Stil von Chiara Boschis, die hier mit dem Spitzenjahrgang 2016 etwas ganz Großes abgeliefert hat!

"Satt leuchtendes Rubinrot. Zeigt sich in der Nase vielschichtig und offenherzig mit Nuancen von reifen Waldbeeren, Minze, Blutorangen, im Nachhall nach satter Erdbeermarmelade. Öffnet sich am Gaumen mit elegantem und feinem Fruchtschmelz, geschliffen und klar, eng gewobenes Tannin unterstützt den Trunk, im Finale salzig." Falstaff

"Mid to deep crimson. Very pretty nose of earthy, complex fruit with subtle oak note and hints of pine. Succulent and supple red-fruit palate with great focus. Delicious, chewy tannins. Ends a little mouth-watering." Jancis Robinson

"The vivacious Chiara Boschis has been a modernist producer for 25 years, although she now uses far less new oak than in the past. She is best known for her Cannubi, but the Mosconi, from 1ha within this Monforte vineyard, can be just as fine in some vintages. The colour is deep for Barolo, the cherry and blackberry nose generous and opulent. It's a plump, rich, full-bodied and very concentrated wine that's assertive and youthful now - but in balance. Darker-fruited than most Barolos, it's structured, taut and long." Decanter

"A mix of cherry, menthol, loam and tobacco flavors are hung on the burly frame of this red. Though difficult to see this evolving, all of its elements seem to be in the right proportions, they are just not integrated yet. Fresh and focused. With air, the purity of the fruit is more evident." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Barolo Mosconi is a gorgeous wine made all the more remarkable given that Mosconi can't really be said to be a top-level site. Dark and imposing, the 2016 captures all the breadth and tannic clout that are such signatures of this site. This is an especially brooding, virile Barolo, but Chiara and Giorgio Boschis clearly brought out all the best the vineyard had to give." Vinous

"The E Pira-Chiara Boschis 2016 Barolo Mosconi is a little wider and richer compared to the Cannubi, with bigger fruit, more sweetness, spice, grilled oregano and a touch of crushed hazelnut. Despite the wide net of aromas offered on the bouquet, this wine shows a very sharp and focused approach with elegantly linear tannins and matching acidity. There is a lifted quality to both the nose and the mouthfeel that gives this wine beautiful momentum and length. Mosconi is one of the headline vineyards of Monforte d'Alba." Robert Parker

"A full-bodied, chewy 2016 with a solid structure of ripe fruit and intense tannins. Lots of plums, walnuts, hazelnuts and light chocolate. It’s very powerful. Very classic structure. From organically grown grapes. Needs time to resolve the powerful tannins. Try after 2022." James Suckling
