Barolo Cannubi Organic 2018 E Pira e Figli Chiara Boschis

94 points | James Suckling

Deep and seductive on the nose and palate with crushed red berries and a soft mineral base. Full-bodied with very silky tannins that are already melded into the wine. More linear, drinkable quality to this in 2018. From organically grown grapes. Compact and delicious even now, but better with another year in bottle.

97 points | Robert Parker

The E. Pira e Figli – Chiara Boschis 2018 Barolo Cannubi is a lovely wine with a classic playlist of true Nebbiolo aromas. This certified organic wine exhibits wild berry, rose, dried lilac and an earthy touch of white truffle. However, the floral aromas and the lifted fruit are the protagonists in this balanced expression. Chiara farms less than one hectare (just over 6,000 square meters) in the celebrated Cannubi MGA with ancient calcareous clay soils from the Miocene era. Production is limited to 3,594 bottles. This is one of the best wines of the vintage. (Monica Larner) Drinking window – 2025 – 2050

Tasting Notes

A classic Nebbiolo nose featuring wild berry, rose petals, dried lilac, and a subtle, earthy hint of white truffle.

Floral aromas and lifted palate with vivid red fruit lead the expression. It offers a fine texture, grippy yet well-integrated savory tannins, and a long, clean, saline finish.

Open-knit, gracious, and harmonious in style, showing the approachability and elegance typical of this celebrated Cannubi plot.

Background

Chiara Boschis is widely regarded as one of the pioneering women of Barolo, although her family boasts a remarkable nine-generation history of winemaking. In 1980, the Boschis family, owners of Giacomo Borgogno e Figli, acquired the historic E. Pira & Figli estate, securing some of the most prestigious vineyards in Barolo. After graduating with a degree in Economics, Chiara joined the family business full-time, driven by her deep passion for wine. She officially took the helm of E. Pira & Figli in 1990 and quickly established herself as the “Barolo Girl.” Her combination of dedication, patience, charm and determination played a pivotal role in elevating both the quality and reputation of the estate, helping E. Pira & Figli achieve the distinguished standing it enjoys today.
