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

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

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

Im Bouquet Veilchen, Gewürze, Menthol, Minze und verführerische Beerenaromen. Am Gaumen geradlinig und kompakt, mit feiner Mineralität und großer Eleganz. Ein sehr beeindruckender Barolo, der den Spagat zwischen Tradition und Moderne bestens vollführt. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very nice black fruits and some licorice on the nose, making this immediately appealing. There's an impressive tannin structure on the palate for this often wishy-washy vintage. With more elegance this would have been rated higher, but it certainly gives plenty of pleasure now. It will continue to do so through at least 2030." James Suckling

"Round and solidly built, offering plum, cherry, earth and graphite flavors. The lively acidity and well-groomed tannins lend finesse. Finishes with a mix of fruit, earth and mineral elements." Wine Spectator

"This is the mid-weight wine that exists on a continuum between the ethereal elegance of Cannubi and the muscular power of Mosconi. The 2014 Barolo Via Nuova represents a traditional assembly of fruit from various sites, including Barolo (Terlo and Liste), Monforte d'Alba (Ravera and Mosconi) and Serralunga d'Alba (Gabutti and Baudana). This beautiful wine offers volume and grit with beautiful mineral tones that stand proud above the dark fruit, cassis and wild rose. There is a note of mineral saltiness on the close that I really love." Robert Parker

Barolo Via Nuova ist frisch und lebendig. Im Bouquet Veilchen, Gewürze, Menthol, Minze und verführerische Beerenaromen. Am Gaumen geradlinig und kompakt, mit feiner Mineralität und großer Eleganz.

"Elegance and harmony are two leading traits that can be attributed to the 2012 Barolo Via Nuova. This wine represents a balanced blend of Nebbiolo grapes from various sites. That blending flexibility adds to the overall balance of the wine, which is very important in a vintage like 2012 that was not always easy across the various townships of the Barolo appellation. Bright cherry and blackberry are followed by spice and grilled herb." Robert Parker

"A wine of extraordinary precision, the 2012 Barolo Via Nuova possesses stunning vibrancy and energy. Dark cherry, cherry pit, blood orange, orange peel, exotic spice and mint are all laced together in a chiseled Barolo that bristles with energy. Addictively beautiful and inviting, the Via Nuova is endowed with a super-classic, mid-weight feel, knock-out aromatics and fabulous overall balance." VINOUS

"This shows such clarity and freshness with so much minerality. Blue fruits too. Medium to full body, linear tannins and acidity. Dark chocolate undertones." James Suckling

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!

"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

"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

Chiara Boschis Cannubi verzaubert mit femininen Eigenschaften. Floraler Duft, erdige Noten nach Wald und Pilzen, am Gaumen Himbeere und ein Hauch Schokolade, dazu seidige Tannine ohne eine Spur von Adstringenz. SUPERIORE.DE

"A great example of site, the 2012 Barolo Cannubi is deep, sensual and beautifully perfumed. The aromatics and pure, creamy texture of Cannubi comes through loud and clear. The Cannubi is a wine of pure texture and voluptuousness, qualities that it shows as layers of fruit blossom in all directions. A host of dark red cherry, plum, mint and spice accompany the generous, caressing finish." VINOUS

"Pure roses on the nose. Hints of raspberries and lemon rind. So pure. Full body and ultra-fine tannins. Powerful yet so ethereal and soul-touching. A fabulously crafted Cannubi." James Suckling
